The University of Exeter Sequencing Service wishes to recruit an Experimental Officer to provide software development, informatics support and pipeline development for high throughput sequencing applications within the Exeter Sequencing Service in Biosciences. The above full-time post is available from 1st August 2013 for three years in the College of Life and Environmental Sciences. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team providing sequencing data, analysis and support since 2008 to over fifty academic groups within the University as well as major academic collaborators. The major task for any core facility is to make a user's data easily interpretable and useful to their needs. Academics within the College have a broad range of research interests including Food Security, Eco-toxicology and pathogen-host interactions. This provides unique challenges in making data accessible to a wide range of individuals. As such, we are searching for an enthusiastic, motivated and highly talented individual who possesses a strong physical sciences background or who has equivalent expertise and experience garnered from a biological field.
You will be working alongside the head of the Exeter Sequencing Service (himself a bioinformatician) to support the provision of bioinformatics support to laboratory based biologists through development and deployment of software tools, databases, pipelines and training activities. You will be providing training on a one-to-one and group basis, you will analyse and benchmark software tools and develop extendable pipelines and you will develop/enhance methods of presenting complex data. As such we are searching for an applicant with excellent communication and organisational skills as well as an excellent software development background. This is an ideal opportunity for a skilled developer to contribute to and learn from some of the best the biological community has to offer.
We welcome applications from candidates interested in working part-time hours or job-sharing arrangements.
