Data Engineer/Bioinformatician– Systems Chemical Biology

Data Engineer/Bioinformatician– Systems Chemical Biology
Short summary
The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team working to develop a Systems Chemical Biology approach to biomedical research.
This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the world’s leading research institutes as part of the Crick-GSK LinkLabs collaboration at a crucial time in its evolution and play a definitive role in shaping it for the future. We seek a talented, highly motivated candidate with experience analysing high-content imaging ‘omics data sets with a strong knowledge of programming language(s).
The role will reside within the ITO-Scientific Computing division within the Francis Crick Institute and will work closely with the Crick-GSK LinkLabs team, including high-content imaging and ‘omics scientists, database administrators as well as machine learning engineers. The successful candidate will be responsible for bioinformatics analyses of large high-content data sets to probe molecule, protein and phenotype associations in disease relevant biological systems and generate insights into disease biology to identify targets, pathways and compounds offering therapeutic potential.
Key Responsibilities
• Perform bioinformatics analyses of large high-content data sets to probe the relationship between molecule, protein, gene and phenotype to interrogate biological systems in the context of disease biology.
• Drive the implementation of state-of-the-art bioinformatics techniques to interrogate emerging data sets, add biological context and integrate data from multiple platforms.
• Contribute to the overall data science strategy for the Systems Chemical Biology Platform being developed within the GSK-Crick LinkLab partnership, extracting data insights from the primary data and developing integration with external datasets.
• Work closely with Crick and GSK researchers (e.g. Proteomics, High Content Screening, Chemistry, Data and Machine Learning) to guide experimental design and drive the interpretation of outcomes.
• Analyse, assimilate, and communicate complex scientific data clearly and concisely
