Full-time Research Associate Bioinformatician position.
Job Location
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON, UK
Research Dept of Cancer Biology
Genome Organization and Function Group
Project Background
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. 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.
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 the chromatin proteins, cohesin and CTCF 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 for global chromosome structure (Sofueva S et al. EMBO J 2013 & Vietri Rudan M et al. Cell Reports 2015).
The post-holder will be expected to analyse, integrate and interpret multiple datasets simultaneously (including ChIP-Seq and HiC/4C-Seq); will maintain server storage and manage datasets on the server and will develop appropriate post-analysis strategies and pipelines.
The full-time bioinformatics position is immediately available and funded by the Wellcome Trust for two years in the first instance.
Requirements
The ideal candidate for this position should have a PhD in a relevant area (Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics or Genomics are preferred) and will have significant experience in applied bioinformatics, specifically having worked with next generation sequencing datasets. The applicant must have excellent analytical skills, be proficient with R, a strong statistical background, be familiar with working in a Linux environment, ability to work independently and as part of a team, very good oral/written communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to develop integrated databases of biological data.
How to Apply
