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/Uppsala, but also has satellite nodes at other universities across Sweden, and is currently one of the major life science research establishments in Europe.

The National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden 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 a new member to join the Bioinformatics Long-term Support team (a.k.a WABI), with more than 20 senior bioinformaticians located at SciLifeLab nodes across Sweden. The position will be placed at the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University, with start July 2017 or by agreement.

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 currently comprises more than 20 full-time senior bioinformaticians, and constitutes one of the strongest units for analysis of large-scale genomics and integrative omics data in Sweden. Examples of supported scientific areas range from translational medicine and complex diseases, to evolutionary and environmental research.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The bioinformatics scientist will:

Provide advanced bioinformatics support to nationally prioritized projects
Develop and implement tools and resources for the research community
Provide and promote local and national training and networking
Take part in the continuous development and improvement of the bioinformatics support at a national level

REQUIREMENTS

The successful candidate should have a PhD or similar relevant working experience from advanced studies within bioinformatics, either within academia or industry. The candidate should be fluent oral and written communication skills in English, and have strong skills in cooperation and communication. Postdoctoral studies are a strong merit but not a requirement. "Reproducible research", "FAIR data", and "integrative omics" are central concepts to us. We are looking for candidates experienced in performing advanced analyses in various areas including (but not limited to):

Cancer genomics
Genome assembly and comparative genomics
Single-cell transcriptomics
Epigenetics

Strong skills in experimental design and software development are also beneficial.

TERMS

Full time, two years.
