Salary: £29,750 to £37,525 per annum depending on experience

We are seeking to appoint a Senior Bioinformatician to undertake analysis of a molecular phenotyping project using mice generated by the Mouse Genetics Project (MGP). As part of the new Deciphering the Mechanisms of Developmental Disorders (DMDD) project we intend to implement a high-throughput mouse transcriptome profiling pipeline to run in parallel with a similar pipeline established in the Zebrafish Mutation Project (ZMP). We would like to recruit an individual to develop the sample and data tracking system within the Mouse Informatics Group, process the sequence-based transcriptome profile data and develop analysis systems to exploit the transcript profiles using Gene Ontology to identify protein networks and pathways.

Essential Skills

• Masters degree (or above) or equivalent experience in a relevant subject area (e.g. bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science)
• Evidence of a high level of competence in Perl programming
• Familiarity with developing in a UNIX/Linux environment
• Experience and understanding of bioinformatics and familiarity with genome data
• Ability to prioritise tasks to ensure the right things are done at the right time

Ideal Skills

• Familiarity with Gene Ontology and associated tools
• Background in statistical analyses, preferably using R
