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.

The Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) is a Centre of Excellence for Life Sciences, funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation, and located at the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. The Bioinformatics Core Facility supports IMB researchers in the computational analysis of genomic data generated in the course of research projects.
