英国帝国理工学院招聘生物信息方向博士后

Applications are invited for a researcher with experience of analysing high throughput genomic data and software programming skills. The successful candidate will be responsible for the development of scientific methodologies and IT solutions for the analysis and interpretation of high-throughput genomic data (i.e. this analysis will focus on biomarker data from breast tumours and links with clinical endpoints). The post holder will work jointly with Dr Niklas Feldhahn, Dr Leandro Castellano and Professor Justin Stebbing and their respective research groups.

To fulfil the essential requirements of the post, the successful candidate will have a PhD (or equivalent qualification and experience) in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology (or a related discipline), enjoy working alongside clinicians and biologists on complex real-world datasets, have significant experience using tools such as R/Bioconductor, Matlab, Perl Java and SQL and a good working knowledge of current concepts in eukaryotic gene expression mechanisms.

This post is full time for a fixed term of 12 months in the first instance and supported from an award made by Action Against Cancer. The post holder will be based at the Hammersmith Hospital campus, East Acton.

This is an opportunity to work in the Division of Cancer at Imperial College London, one of the leading research led universities worldwide, and will afford numerous possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration and training.

Imperial College provides an outstanding environment for basic, clinical and translational research and provides support and development opportunities for postdoctoral researchers and research fellows through the Postdoc Development Centre.  Further staff benefits include excellent pension schemes, season ticket loans, childcare facilities and childcare vouchers as part of the salary sacrifice scheme.
