Computational biologist/bioinformatician

Working with the world-leading team of Prof Austin Smith, you will lead a programme of comparative ‘omics analyses to uncover the regulatory networks of pluripotency in stem cells and embryos of human and other mammals. You will develop and implement algorithms, analysis
methods and visualisation tools for dissecting and integrating ‘omics datasets, with a
particular focus on single cell data and developmental trajectories. You will also
have the freedom to explore new research directions in the realm of computational
biology and bioinformatics applied to pluripotency and early mammalian development.

Applicants should have a general understanding of molecular cell
biology and of next generation sequencing methodologies and have worked in
productive partnerships with experimental researchers. An interest in biological processes
and mechanisms is essential, but specific prior knowledge of stem cell or developmental
biology is not required.
