This is a challenging and fast moving project with the aim to carry out whole genome sequencing on 100,000 participants. Genomics England works with key partners to collect, transport, store, quality check and sequence the samples from participants. The aim for this initiative is to create a new genomic medicine service for the NHS – transforming the way people are cared for. Patients may be offered a diagnosis where there wasn't one before. In time, there is the potential of new and more effective treatments.

RESPONSIBILITIES

This is an ideal role for an experienced Python developer responsible for creating web applications and utilising programming skills for the interpretation of genetic data from large databases, contributing to one of the largest and most ambitious initiatives in the UK.

You will be responsible for developing and operating computational pipelines, working on complex projects and custom tasks that span a wide variety of analysis problems and developing and maintaining a knowledge base of variants and annotations.

Key Accountabilities:

Develops and applies state of the art approaches to 100,000 whole genome sequences (WGS) in the areas of:
- Quality assurance and sample provenance monitoring
- Analysis of WGS in cancer and rare diseases
- Sequence alignment and variant calling
Assists with the deployment, maintenance and troubleshooting of computational pipelines for WGS processing and analysis
Liaises with internal colleagues as needed to ensure the provision and smooth running of the computational pipelines for data processing and analysis.

REQUIREMENTS

Post-graduate degree or equivalent work experience in bioinformatics (desirable)
Experience in the development of NGS analysis pipelines for large numbers of samples (desirable)
Proficiency in Bash and a general purpose programming language such as Java or Python, and experience with APIs
