About the Role
Our team at the Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, is seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics research assistant with a BSc or MSc degree and interest in bioinformatics or computational biology. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of software infrastructure to support the analysis of liquid biopsy next-generation sequencing data for cancer diagnostics.
The ideal candidate will have a background in next-generation sequencing data analysis/cancer and/or genome research, or closely related fields. Desired criteria include knowledge of the application of statistical methods for robust data analysis of biological/genomic data. You will be able to work independently and interact well in a multi-disciplinary team environment.
We offer a competitive salary of £35,000 - £45,000 per annum, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days' leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme, and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. Additionally, you will benefit from flexible working arrangements, campus facilities, and our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Join us in pioneering new approaches for non-invasive molecular diagnostics and analysis of cancer genomes and evolution using next-generation sequencing of circulating cell-free tumour DNA (ctDNA). We aim to develop novel tools for cancer diagnostics by developing improved methods and demonstrating clinical utility.
