A position is available in Robin Allshire’s lab at the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology in the School of Biological sciences at the University of Edinburgh for a self-motivated and innovative Bioinformatician.
The Allshire lab [ www.wcb.ed.ac.uk/research/allshire ] are utilizing a variety of approaches to build a detailed model of pericentromeric and centromeric chromatin. This post holder will work alongside wet lab researchers to process, analyse and store data generated from siRNA sequencing, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ChIP-Nexus, ATAC-seq and proteomics approaches (eg see Shukla, Tong etal. Curr Biol 2018). The appointed individual will liaise with sequencing services and the head of our Bioinformatics core facility. The post holder will collate the data in a format that will make it easily accessible to other users.
This post is full time and fixed term to 28 February 2022.
Salary: £33,199 - £39,609 per annum
Closing Date: Friday 15th February 2019 at 5pm (GMT)
