Development of existing in-house web applications, in particular a Next Generation Sequencing/Microarray LIMS
Maintenance of analysis tools, in particular a Galaxy server
Web and computing server maintenance and administration
Database design and development for new applications
Computational support and training

A research role that involves:

Bioinformatics analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data
DNA sequence analysis
Statistical analysis and machine learning

The successful applicant will serve to integrate many computational tools within the unit as well as performing state-of-the art data analysis to address specific biological questions.

REQUIREMENTS

Qualifications and Experience:
Applicants should have an appropriate university degree and/or Ph.D. in computer science, bioinformatics or statistics, with a very strong understanding of Biology. Extensive experience in bioinformatics of large datasets, excellent software development skills including software specifications, design and project management, experience in database (MySQL, PgSQL) and server administration (Linux) are essential.

Advanced programming skills in Java (Hibernate, Spring, Spring M etc) are required, including a working knowledge of R and PHP, Python and JavaScript. Prior experience with analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq) and biological research is a definite advantage. Practical experience with parallel and cluster computing is a plus. The candidate should be able to work independently and also interact well within a team environment. A working knowledge of English is essential.
