Hi,

We are seeking a Statistical Bioinformatician to work as part of the Computational Biology Research Group (CBRG), based at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM) in Oxford, UK.   The CBRG collaborates with WIMM scientists to successfully integrate bioinformatics into their research. 

Working as part of the CBRG team, the successful candidate will be the main point of contact for statistical and bioinformatics projects with a statistical component at the WIMM. The work will include application of existing tools and method development in the following areas but not limited to: next generation sequence analysis (RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, Variant analysis), biological modelling, experimental design and proteomics analysis.

You will have an MSc or above in statistics, bioinformatics, mathematics or a similar subject.  Experience in the analysis of high dimensional datasets, skills in statistics, programming Perl or Python and R/Bioconductor plus other analysis packages are essential.  You will have experience of working in a UNIX/LINUX environment and in the visualization and presentation of complex data sets. Excellent organisational and planning skills would be expected to manage multiple simultaneous projects and achieve deadlines.
