BACKGROUND:
The Bioinformatics Core Facility at Cancer Research UK's Cambridge Research Institute is looking to recruit a bioinformatician to support our newly established Proteomics Core Facility.
The Cambridge Research Institute (CRI) is a major initiative of Cancer Research UK, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, and is strategically situated on the Addenbrooke’s Biomedical Campus. The aim of the Institute is to facilitate world-class research that will increase our understanding of cancer and apply that understanding directly for the benefit of cancer patients in the clinic.
The Bioinformatics Core facility provides computational and statistical support for research at CRI through data analysis, data management, and training and consultation services, focusing primarily on high-throughput genomics and proteomics technologies.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
We are seeking a bioinformatician to support our newly established Proteomics Core facility by developing software and computational methods for the analysis and interpretation of mass spectrometry data. This includes the implementation of informatics solutions to manage, display and search proteomics datasets and for database-based management of results.
More details are included in the role profile, available at: http://jobs.cancerresearchuk.org/view_vacancy.php?requirementId=9180
REQUIREMENTS:
- You should have a first degree in a scientific or computational discipline and preferably a postgraduate degree (PhD or masters) or significant experience in bioinformatics or computational biology.
- You should be a skilled programmer in Perl, Java and/or C/C++.
- In addition the role requires good communication skills, as you will work closely with research scientists, other bioinformaticians and members of the Proteomics Core, and the ability to work well in a team.
PREFERENCES:
- Knowledge of mass spectrometry, and an understanding of relevant bioinformatics software (e.g. Mascot, MaxQuant) and data resources (e.g. Swiss-Prot), would be an advantage.
