job offers
Candidates are expected to have knowledge of biology, functional genomics and programming in a UNIX/Linux environment. Previous experience with comparative genomics and genomics databases is a desirable asset.
The Master degree in Data Science and Scientific Computing (DSSC) aims to train professionals of the future: experts that are highly requested because of the digitalization of the society and the evolution to industry 4.0.
We are seeking an experienced Bioinformatician to join the Metabolic Research Laboratories (MRL) Bioinformatics Core Facility, a scientifically complex service providing support to a wide range of researchers within the MRL and potentially across the wider scientific community in Cambridge and nationally.
A PhD or Master degree in Computer Science/Engineering/Physics/Mathematics is preferred, together with previous research experience in image analysis or machine learning.
The ideal candidate has an engineering or scientific background, and good programming skills. Previous knowledge of machine learning is not necessary, whereas the ability and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary environment, covering areas from biology to optics and computer science, are required.
