Deadline May 31
We offer a postdoc position for a motivated scientist interested in studying genome regulation in pancreatic islets, using computational analysis of NGS data. This is the general area of interest of the lab as we believe it canlead to new insights into mechanisms of disease. We are a group of computational and experimental biologists, often engaging in cross-disciplinary interactions.
Applicants with diverse educational backgrounds are welcome, but a solid computing background is essential. Knowledge of a programming language (e.g Python, C/C++, Perl, R, MatLab) is required as well as expertise in statistical analysis, with a strong background in the the analysis of biological networks.
Salary Range: £33,860 - £42,830 per annum
Full-time, fixed-term for three years
