We are looking for a talented and highly skilled postdoctoral researcher with a background in the analysis of genomic and epigenomic data or a related field. The candidate should have a record of accomplishments indicating the ability to perform analysis, visualisation
and dissemination of data produced by high-throughput sequencing, as well as in-depth knowledge of molecular biology. The candidate is expected to have proficiency in programming and analysis of genomics data and the design of analysis pipelines. The knowledge
of UNIX administration is a plus. <br class="">
<br class="">
The post is funded by BBSRC for the project entitled “DanioPeaks: A Central Resource for Standardised Annotation and Re-annotation of Whole-Genome Data for the Model Vertebrate Zebrafish”. Its aim is to develop the processing pipeline for analysis of all published
NGS sequencing datasets available for zebrafish by using the established standardised protocols of ENCODE and modENCODE. It will make the growing amount of zebrafish NGS data directly comparable and available for meta-analysis to the wider scientific community.
Besides resulting in a resource of broad interest and associated publication, the project will give opportunity to the postdoctoral researcher to demonstrate the utility of the integrated data produced on the project for discovering new biology. Within the
latter part of the project there is ample opportunity for taking initiative and choosing one’s own direction, which will be strongly encouraged.<br class="">
<br class="">
The post is a unique opportunity to work on developing and applying cutting-edge approaches for genome-wide data processing and integration for a model organism of rapidly growing importance, in one of the leading research environments in Europe and the world.
The post holder will have the opportunity to work with a worldwide network of collaborators, attend scientific conferences, and publish the results of their work in top journals. <br class="">
<br class="">
You should have a PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics or a related discipline. Knowledge of programming, molecular biology and genomics is expected, as well as prior experience with processing and management of next-generation sequencing data.<br class="">
<br class="">
Informal enquiries may be directed to Professor Boris Lenhard at <a href="mailto:b.lenhard@imperial.ac.uk" class="">b.lenhard@imperial.ac.uk</a>.
