💥 We’re Hiring: Senior Bioinformatician
📍 London (Hybrid - in-person preferred) | 💻 Full-time or part-time | 💰 £75,000 – £95,000 + equity | 🚀 Early-stage biotech
Are you a computational scientist passionate about shaping the future of cell reprogramming and longevity biotech? We’re looking for a Senior Bioinformatician to lead our data analysis and computational biology efforts across multi-omics datasets. If you thrive in dynamic environments, love building tools and pipelines, and have a track record of impactful research—we want to hear from you.
You’ll be a key member of our discovery team, helping to interpret complex biological signals and guide experimental design. This is a high-impact opportunity to define bioinformatics strategy and build in-house tools that directly advance our platform.
This role is ideally a full-time in-person or hybrid role at our lab near Kings Cross. We are also open to part-time roles especially if the applicant is in the process of finishing a relevant PhD.
🧠 About Us
We’re a VC-backed biotech spun out of a Nobel lab at the University of Cambridge, developing a novel and powerful cell reprogramming mechanism. Our mission is to rejuvenate cells—initially HSCs and T cells for applications in transplantation and cancer immunotherapy. We believe our approach represents a step-change in longevity science, and we’re building a world-class team to realise that potential.
This role will complement our screening and mechanism teams who are developing custom, in-house single-cell sequencing and mass spectrometry methods to gather world-leading and unique data on cellular rejuvenation.
🧪 What You’ll Do
• Lead analysis of multi-omics datasets (ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, single-cell, ChIP-seq, mass spectrometry, etc.)
• Build, automate, and maintain bioinformatics pipelines and in-house data tools
• Develop custom analysis scripts, dashboards, or internal apps to support research workflows
• Work closely with wet-lab scientists to design experiments and interpret data
• Drive best practices in data storage, versioning, and documentation
• Collaborate with internal machine learning experts to integrate predictive modelling into pipelines
• Contribute to strategic decisions across discovery and data infrastructure
• (Optional) Support library preparation and assist in wet-lab automation development if interested
✅ We’re Looking For
• PhD (or equivalent experience) in bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related field - ideally with application in cell reprogramming or immunology
• First- or early-author publication in genomics, bioinformatics, or a related area
• Strong experience with omics data types, including bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and ChIP-seq
• Comfortable with analysis tools like R, Python, Bioconductor, Seurat, Scanpy, etc.
• Familiarity with cloud data management (GCP), version control (e.g., Git), and storage solutions
• Knowledge of machine learning concepts, with an eagerness to learn more in-house
• Excellent communication skills and collaborative mindset
• Passion for high-quality, reproducible science in a mission-driven environment
🌱 Bonus Skills
• Experience working with mass spec proteomics data
• Hands-on knowledge of wet-lab methods like library prep or automation (e.g. Opentrons, Hamilton)
• Prior exposure to cellular reprogramming, longevity or immunology research and datasets
• Experience developing user-friendly internal tools (e.g., Shiny apps, Streamlit, lightweight dashboards)
• Familiarity with NGS pipelines, Docker/Nextflow/Snakemake, and secure data practices
• ELN usage (Benchling) and integration into computational workflows
🎁 What We Offer
• Competitive salary: £75,000–£95,000, based on experience and time commitment
• Significant equity options in a rapidly growing biotech
• 28 days holiday + public holidays
• Private healthcare
• Company-matched pension
• A collaborative, science-first culture where your work has real impact
• Flexibility around remote/in-person work, especially for experienced candidates
• The chance to have impact on foundational technology at the cutting edge of regenerative medicine
