EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is seeking talented and highly-motivated scientists to join its Faculty to develop their own independent research group.
We welcome applicants from across the whole field of computational biology, particularly those working at the interface of artificial intelligence and biology. Women, who are under-represented in our Faculty, are especially encouraged to apply.
EMBL-EBI is a global leader in computational biology and bioinformatics. Our research groups develop and apply computational approaches to answer fundamental and applied questions, ranging from studying how the genome has evolved to how the microbiome affects our health and the impact of protein structure on drug responses. From a computational perspective, research in the Institute builds upon a variety of methods, from strategies for sequence analysis to high-dimensional statistical models, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Computational methods developed by groups at EMBL-EBI are among the most widely used by the scientific community, providing the building blocks for future technical advances and scientific discovery. Please refer to the EMBL-EBI webpage and the individual group descriptions to learn more about the research currently being conducted in the Institute.
As a member of one of the world’s leading computational biology institutes, you will also become a part of the wider EMBL Faculty. In line with EMBL’s scientific programme, Molecules to Ecosystems, EMBL-EBI is particularly interested in candidates with research programmes related to EMBL’s transversal themes. All of our group leaders are embedded in the multidisciplinary and collaborative environment of EMBL, which provides many opportunities for interaction with other research groups.
The EMBL-EBI is also deeply embedded in the local Cambridge environment, which represents an outstanding ecosystem for performing world-leading research in the biological sciences.
