BACKGROUND

Do you want to fight malaria from your computer? Are you a motivated bioinformatician and want to work with the latest sequencing technologies and single cell sequencing?

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is taking on some of the most difficult challenges in genomic research, to push the boundaries of our understanding of life in ever new and exciting ways. We have an exciting opportunity for you to work within a team of bioinformaticians and biologists to use state-of-the-art genomic and transcriptomic datasets to understand the biology and evolution of malaria parasites.

In the Parasite Genomics group we produce and analyse DNA sequence data to gain insights into parasite biology and to generate resources of lasting value to the Research community. We use the latest sequence technologies, like Oxford Nanopore, 10X to push the limits of single-cell analysis for parasite genomes.

We seek to recruit a senior bioinformatician in to our malaria genomics team, to work with DNA and RNA sequencing data. The position would be ideal for an individual to gain valuable experience in using third generation sequencing data, as well as cutting edge single-cell approaches.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Analyse and evaluate 3rd generation sequencing data with existing tools, and with new tools generated in house
Analyse single-cell datasets
Generate programs and pipelines to generate hundreds of high quality malaria-parasite genomes

REQUIREMENTS

The position will involve both data analysis and programming.
Good knowledge of programming, demonstrated by a Masters or PhD degree in Computer Science or Bioinformatics, or PhD in another discipline (such as physics, maths or biology) with a large component of computational work
Must have experience in Java, Perl or Python programming and driving projects to completion

PREFERENCES

Experience with genome and next generation sequencing analysis or a background in malaria biology

TERMS

Fixed Term Contract for 3 years

COMPENSATION

Salary Range: £31,498 to £39,729 plus excellent benefits.
