We are seeking a Bioinformatician, looking to start their career in industry, to join a multidisciplinary team to make a lasting contribution to a unique technology that will transform our understanding of disease and diagnosis.

Role:
The bioinformatician will contribute to the analysis and interpretation of NGS data, generated using a unique epigenetics platform, as well as to develop ways to create patient epigenetic profiles and discover novel biomarkers for both diagnostics and prognostics. You will gain exposure to cutting-edge computational epigenetics and machine learning approaches and explore the latest bioinformatic developments for biomarker discovery, NGS, and epigenetic data analysis.

Your background will include:

1. A Ph.D. in bioinformatics & epigenetics
2. Experience in handling and processing NGS datasets (such as WGS, Exome sequencing, RNA-seq etc), including raw data quality control, alignment and processing, as well as analysis and interpretation
3. Knowledge of analysing epigenetics datasets such as ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, WGBS, MeDIPs, etc
4. Familiarity with data visualization and analytics tools
5. Comfortable coding in either Python or R

It would be great if you had:

1. Experience in analysing 'omics datasets for biological interpretation and actionable insights.
2. Scientific domain expertise in epigenetics, cancer genomics, liquid biopsy or biomarker discovery and relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals
3. Familiarity with cloud environments and bioinformatics pipelines (e.g. Nextflow)
4. Familiarity with machine learning algorithms
5. Familiarity with variant calling packages and/or gene panels

A small but rapidly expanding company - by joining early in their journey you will gain exposure to the various facets of start-up life and have a unique chance to contribute to the technology and influence the company culture. Excellent personal development opportunities.
