*at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics <http://www.dbb.su.se>.
Closing date: 18 March 2019.*

Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab, www.scilifelab.se) is a national
center for large-scale life science research with an advanced technological
infrastructure. SciLifeLab performs multidisciplinary research based on DNA
sequencing, gene expression analysis, proteomics, bioinformatics,
biostatistics and systems biology. The aim is to enable Swedish researchers
to analyze genes, transcripts and proteins in different organisms in order
to clarify molecular mechanisms related to health and the environment.
Examples of thematic research areas currently being processed within
SciLifeLab are clinical genomics/proteomics, cancer genomics, complex
genomics, and ecological and environmental-related genomics. Bioinformatics
and systems biology are key activities within the center, and a significant
part of SciLifeLab's staff work in these areas. The National Genomics
Infrastructure <https://ngisweden.scilifelab.se/about>, NGI, is the largest
technical platform in SciLifeLab. It is a national resource that offers an
infrastructure for state-of-the-art DNA sequencing and SNP genotyping to
researchers across Sweden. By providing access to advanced genomics
techniques and providing guidelines and support for sampling, study design,
protocol selection and bioinformatics analysis, we hope to enable
world-leading research.

We are looking for a Bioinformatician to join our applications development
team at NGI. The successful candidate will work in one of the largest
European sequencing facilities. The role will be varied and the candidate
will be involved with multiple different tasks. Examples of duties are:

   - Working in collaborative projects with users
   - Analysing data from internal development projects
   - Developing new analysis pipelines
   - Software development, for example for quality control
   - Automation of data/analysis flow
   - Assistance in keeping existing pipelines and tools state-of-the-art.

*Qualification requirements*

   - Programming skills, primarily in Python, alt. R, Perl, Java or C/C++
   - Basic knowledge of version control, e.g. git
   - Experience from using Linux/UNIX
   - Excellent communication and collaboration skills
   - Excellent spoken and written English.

*Meriting experience*

   - PhD in Bioinformatics or equivalent competence
   - Experience handling large datasets, in particular next-generation
   sequencing data (NGS)
   - Experience of HPC or equivalent computer systems
   - Experience of working with cloud computing environments (eg. AWS)
   - Experience of web application development and/or database
   administration (SQL or noSQL)
   - Experience in using DNA/RNA sequencing data to investigate issues such
   as cancer biology and complex diseases
   - Experience of integrative analyzes with multiple data types such as:
   RNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing, hybrid de novo assemblies using
   data from techniques that generate long and short readings (e.g., Illumina
   + Pacific Biosciences); protein and RNA data.
