The Cortes-Ciriano group at EMBL-EBI, UK studies the mutational processes and mechanisms of genome instability underpinning tumorigenesis, immune escape, and drug response through the analysis of multi-omic, high-throughput data of tumors and pre-clinical models and is inviting applications for the postdoctoral position. The aim is to uncover novel pharmacological targets for cancer therapy and biomarkers of drug response.
Role and Responsibilities:
- Applications are open in the field of cancer genomics.
- Candidate is expected to be intrinsically motivated, talented, and hypothesis-driven individual with experience in analyzing high-throughput sequencing data sets to join a set of sequencing projects involving samples spanning multiple cancer types.
- This position is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to gain in-depth knowledge and expertise in cancer genomics and to develop bioinformatic skills for analyzing and interpreting large genomic data sets.
Requirements:
- Applicant must hold PhD degree in the Life Sciences (preferably computational biology, statistics, or a similar field)
- Applicant must possess strong analytical and programming skills (preferably in python and R); experience in computational genomics (ideally in cancer genomics) as evidenced by publication record
- Applicant must have demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively with other group members and external collaborators
- Applicant must possess proficiency in communication skills in both written and spoken English
- Experience in Unix-based environments, high-performance computing and the development of reproducible data analysis pipelines using version control software
- Data science skills, such as visualization of complex data sets
Applications:
To apply please submit a covering letter, CV and a list of publications (including pre-prints and manuscripts under review) through the online system.
