Job Description
The Proteomics & Metabolomics Team is seeking an experienced Scientific Programmer with experience in computational mass spectrometry and metabolomics to join our dynamic and international team at the EMBL-EBI in Hinxton, UK. We are ideally seeking a Senior Scientific Programmer (Grade 6), but we are also open to considering candidates with less experience for a Scientific Programmer (Grade 5) position.
Metabolomics is the study of small molecule metabolites in the metabolome, which is the complete set of metabolites in a biological sample. By studying these metabolites, we can observe changes in cellular networks and biochemical pathways. This approach is being used to detect disease states and their progression, monitor responses to therapy, stratify patients based on biochemical profiles, and highlight targets for drug design. Our team provides the biomedical community with information on metabolites and their interplay with biological systems.
We are responsible for MetaboLights, a global public repository for data from metabolomics experiments and their associated metadata. The database is cross-species, cross-technique and covers metabolite structures and their reference spectra as well as their biological roles and locations, and experimental data from metabolic experiments.
Thanks to newly funded project MetabolomeXchange, we are accelerating collaborations with tool developers and other database providers wor...
