    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 position is to implement and maintain various data sources within TGAC. The Scientific Programmer (Data Infrastructure) position will work within the Core Bioinformatics Project to provide data sources and solutions to facilitate data exchange between core instruments, as well as intuitive interfaces between these instruments and the laboratory information management system (LIMS). As TGAC systems evolve to offer more functionality, this Scientific Programmer role will interact with the internal and external users to improve the interfaces and meet new requirements. The postholder will work on implementing data sources to represent large datasets, consistent messaging layers between the existing LIMS and various lab instruments (including sequencing platforms) to achieve robust data interchange between these systems, and interfaces to allow users to access the stored data in intuitive APIs and Graphical User Interfaces.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • The candidate will have an MSc in Bioinformatics or similar field, and a strong background in data modelling and programming with a particular emphasis on databases, web applications and user interfaces.
    • Experience with statistical methods would be desirable.
    • The successful candidate will be proactive with ability to make autonomous decisions.
