BACKGROUND

A new stealth-stage spinout of Specific Technologies (a Silicon Valley company) has partnered with the Sanger Institute's world leaders in pathogen genomics and is now looking for a bioinformatician to help translate scientific research technology into a robust industrial level commercial product.

The application to be developed will be put to highly demanding clinical use, and so will be built to industrial standards, and yet will constitute genuinely cutting-edge bioinformatics with the potential to have great impact on the field, as well as on patient lives.

REQUIREMENTS

Requirements include understanding of most modern sequencing technologies such as Illumina, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore, experience in processing their data and dealing with artIfacts that come with it. Ideal candidate would have deep knowledge of pathogens genome, sequence assembly, MGE identification, annotation and SNP-level dendrogram computation and interpretation, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and genetic determinants that cause them.

TERMS

Job Type: Full-time

LOCALE

You will be based in our newly opened office in the BioData Innovation Centre right on the legendary Wellcome Trust Genome Campus near Cambridge, UK. Free Campus shuttles to and from Cambridge and number of other nearby locations are provided.

COMPENSATION

Salary package is fully competitive, with compensation to include stock options in the Silicon Valley tradition.

Salary: £35,000.00 to £55,000.00/year

HOW TO APPLY

For further inquiries, please submit a letter explaining your interest, along with a CV, to: Eugene Bragin (ebragin[at]nextgen-dx.com)
