BACKGROUND

Long-read Sequencing, Genomics, Permanent!

Paramount are working in partnership with Genomics England to help expand their team – after successfully completing the 100,000 Genomes Project recently they are working together with the NHS to launch the World's First Genomic Medicine Service. This will transform the way patients are cared for in the future.

A fantastic position has become available in their Bioinformatics team (based in Hinxton, Cambridge) for a Bioinformatician to support the R&D activities of Genomics England by comprehensively analysing sequence data sets from a variety of platforms (in particular long read sequencing technologies).

This role would be an ideal fit for a Bioinformatician with a solid skills set in Bioinformatics, handling large data sets in an industry or academic setting, with ideally some background in long read sequencing technologies (e.g. PacBio, Illumina, Nanopore sequencing)

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Bioinformatician you will have the following responsibilities:

Performing computational analyses for a range of R&D projects
Comparing tools and pipelines for NGS analysis
Informing on the design and implementation of new features for sequencing data analysis
Analysing sequence data sets from a variety of platforms (long read sequencing technologies)

REQUIREMENTS

The ideal Bioinformatician will meet the following requirements:

MSc or PhD in Bioinformatics or related discipline
Solid skills set in Bioinformatics and experience of working as a Computational Biologist
Practical knowledge of NGS algorithms and available resources for long read sequencing technologies
Experience of comparing NGS data sets (WGS is important), handling large data sets and building pipelines
Strong programming skills in Python and R
Understanding of basic statistical tests

COMPENSATION

In return you will receive a competitive salary package with the opportunity to work in a fantastic location and make a real difference to patients' lives.
