    BACKGROUND

    The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) is a national centre funded by the BBSRC in partnership with EEDA and Norfolk Local Authorities. TGAC is specialised in the study of plants, microbes and animal genomes with the view to facilitate the development of new genomics-based biology in academic and commercial sectors. TGAC is also a centre of excellence in bioinformatics with a focus in genome informatics and the analysis of next-generation sequencing data. The Bioinformatics division is organised in three teams: Sequencing Informatics, Computational Genomics and Genome Analysis. These teams work closely together to deliver the high-quality data, develop the informatics tools and contribute to the scientific programme of the Centre, which will be overseen by an Independent Scientific Advisory Board managed by the BBSRC.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The aim of this role is to execute and deploy the software systems for analysis and quality assessment for the genomic data generated at TGAC. The goal is to develop automatic pipelines that can handle the data efficiently using a computing cluster.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • The candidate will have a BSc in Bioinformatics or similar, and a strong background in data modelling.
    • Experience with statistical methods would be beneficial.
    • The successful candidate will be proactive with ability to make autonomous decisions, have good interpersonal skills and work well as part of a team.
    • Candidates will have excellent communication skills with a commitment to quality and attention to detail.
