    • Benchmarking tools for cancer WGS analysis
    • Performing computational analyses for a range of projects
    • Developing and implementing new features for cancer sequencing data analysis

    REQUIREMENTS

    The ideal Bioinformatician should fulfil the following requirements:
    • PhD in Bioinformatics or related field or MSc with several years' experience
    • Practical knowledge of NGS algorithms and available resources for cancer bioinformatics
    • Experience with full cycle of analysing NGS data from sequencing QC to annotation and prioritization of variants
    • Experience with handling large data sets and setting pipelines
    • Strong programming skills (Python, R); ability to develop codes as a part of team

    COMPENSATION

    You'll be able to work in their brand new offices in Central London and in return you will receive competitive salary and have the opportunity to work within a successful company in a fantastic location.
