BACKGROUND

Two postdoctoral positions are available at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) under the leadership of Dr Peter Campbell. This is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to apply novel bioinformatic algorithms to unravel the mutational signatures that will hopefully explain the major global differences in cancer incidence, to understand the biological mechanisms underlying cancer-causing mutational processes and to explore their application towards surveillance of mutagenic exposures in human populations.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful applicant will have a PhD and significant experience and expertise of the large-scale analyses of next-generation sequencing data to extract mutational signatures and interpreting the results. They will be part of a multidisciplinary team and will be tasked with further contributing towards developing the analysis tools and pipelines for this project as well as interpreting the output of analyzing complex data sets.

REQUIREMENTS

A PhD in Genomics, Genetics, (Computational) Biology (or similar), and a passion for problem solving
General Molecular biology experience
An understanding, experience and published outcomes from analysing and interpreting large datasets using at least one statistical package (e.g. R/SPLUS, SAS) and experience in programming (e.g. Perl, Python, C++, Java)
The ability to effectively communicate with collaborators and occasionally present oral communication to large groups
Proven independent working style, technical problem solving, data analysis and generation of novel ideas

PREFERENCES

Training in statistical methods appropriate for biological research
Experience in genomics approaches and in method development

TERMS

Please include a covering letter and CV with your application.
