Research Associate in Computational biology/bioinformatics, UK
Several research groups in the department use Illumina/Solexa high throughput sequencing technologies in studies of small RNAs, transcription, SNP discovery and recombination in many different plant species.
We are looking for someone to join our Bioinformatics Group of 5 people. The role will involve working with these research groups to analyse a variety of studies. One project will involve developing methodology for the assembly and analysis of transcriptomes for organisms without a reference genome sequence. The successful applicant will also develop a system generating web-based reports for quality and management information, as well as maintaining our pipeline.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent and substantial experience of a scripting language such as Perl or Python, and of relational databases. Experience with current web technologies and their development is desirable. You must have good consultancy and communication skills. Experience working in a life science environment, particularly in bioinformatics, would be beneficial.
If you are interested in applying, please contact Dr Krys Kelly to discuss the position (email: krys.kelly@plantsci.cam.ac.uk; tel: 07812 891105)
