Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Old Road Campus Research Building, Oxford, OX3 7DQ

Are you passionate about taking a lead role in a cutting-edge project at the intersection of genomics, computational biology, and haematological cancer? We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher to be a part of a collaborative interdisciplinary initiative at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research which aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and early biomarkers of progression to secondary acute myelogenous leukaemia (sAML).

You will take a lead on developing data analysis approaches to search for targetable genetic, epigenetic, or epitranscriptomic mechanisms of progression to sAML. You will contribute to the study and sequencing design, collaborate with experimental biologists to validate the hypotheses, and advise and supervise computational staff and students. You will write research articles and present the results at national and international conferences.

It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil in computational biology, genomics, bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, or a related field together with strong programming skills in Python, R, or similar languages, and proficiency in high-performance computing. You will have experience in large-scale genomic data analysis. You will be able to demonstrate how to organise and prioritise work efficiently, work independently and deliver high quality novel research in relevant fields. It is desirable that you have knowledge of epigenetic modifications and mechanisms and experience in single-cell data analysis.
