Opportunity: Bioinformatics scientists @ Science for Life Laboratory, Stockholm University -- Stockholm, Sweden
Submitted by Pär Engström; posted on Monday, November 28, 2016
BACKGROUND
Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab, http://www.scilifelab.se) in Sweden serves as a national infrastructure to support advanced high-throughput life science research. SciLifeLab is based in Stockholm and Uppsala, but also has satellite nodes at universities across Sweden, and is currently one of the fastest-growing life science research establishments in Europe.
The bioinformatics platform at SciLifeLab (http://www.nbis.se) is a large national infrastructure in rapid development providing support, tools and training to the Swedish life science research community. We are now looking for 1-2 staff scientists to join the Bioinformatics Long-term Support team (a.k.a. WABI), which currently comprises 24 senior bioinformaticians located at SciLifeLab nodes across Sweden. The new positions will be placed at SciLifeLab Stockholm, located at the research campus of Karolinska Institutet in northern Stockholm.
The Bioinformatics Long-term Support team provides advanced bioinformatics analyses to some of the most scientifically exciting projects across Sweden. Launched in the beginning of 2013, the team now constitutes one of the strongest units in Sweden for analysis of large-scale genomics and related "omics" data. Examples of supported scientific areas range from complex diseases to evolutionary and environmental research.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The bioinformatics scientist will:
- Carry out advanced bioinformatics analyses within nationally prioritized projects
- Develop tools and workflows for such analyses
- Educate other scientists in bioinformatics through collaboration within supported projects, teaching at national courses and networking
- Take part in the continuous development and improvement of the bioinformatics platform at a national level
REQUIREMENTS
The successful candidate should have a PhD or similar relevant working experience from advanced studies within bioinformatics, in academia or industry. We are looking for candidates experienced in advanced analyses in areas such as:
- Single-cell transcriptomics
- Large-scale studies of genetic variation
- Metagenomics
- Epigenetics
- Integrative bioinformatics
Strong skills in experimental design and software development are also beneficial. "Reproducible research" and "FAIR data" are central concepts to us. You must have fluent oral and written communication skills in English, as well as strong skills in cooperation and communication. Postdoctoral studies are a strong merit but not a requirement.
TERMS
Full-time employment for a maximum of two years initially, with the possibility of extension.
DEADLINE
December 14, 2017
POLICY
Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.
