Research Associate - Bioinformatics, - Ref:1395912
UCL Cancer Institute
Salary (inclusive of London allowance) £32,699 - £39,523 per annum
The Genome Organization and Function Group headed by Dr. Suzana Hadjur is seeking a Bioinformatician to start immediately. Using experimental and computational approaches, the group has a broad interest in genome organization and its influence on gene regulation.
We use molecular methods (Hi-C, 4C-Seq, ChIP and 3D microscopy) and computational analysis to investigate the organisation of mammalian chromosomes. Recent work has shown that a set of chromatin proteins, called cohesins are functionally important for the looping of regulatory elements at individual genes (Hadjur S et al., Nature 2009; Parelho V & Hadjur S et al. Cell 2008) as well as global chromosome structure (Sofueva S et al. EMBO J 2013).
The full-time bioinformatics position is immediately available and funded by the Medical Research Council in collaboration with Illumina, Inc. The appointee will be supervised by Dr. Hadjur and will be integrated into both the bioinformatics environment at UCL and into the European FP7 EpiGeneSys community, to which the group has membership.
The post is funded for 2 years in the first instance.
The ideal candidate should have a genomics or computer science based PhD, be highly ambitious and self-motivated and possess significant experience in applied bioinformatics, specifically having worked with next-generation sequencing datasets.
The candidate will also be expected to have a working knowledge of R and statistics. The post holder will be expected to analyse, integrate and interpret multiple datasets simultaneously (including ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq and data arising from genome wide 3C-based studies, HiC and 4C-Seq). The work will also involve management of the data, application of cutting-edge algorithms, and development of appropriate post-analysis strategies and pipelines.
