Experience in the field of chromatin regulation and murine development would be an advantage.

The post is part of the LMS Bioinformatics core facility. We are seeking a talented and highly motivated senior bioinformatics analyst experienced in genomics and transcriptomics data analysis to work closely with LMS research groups and facilities. The post requires in-depth knowledge of biology, statistics and bioinformatics. Experience of working for a core facility or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience is essential. Experience in the analysis of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq, using/writing R/Bioconductor packages, and working with High Performance Computing (HPC) environments is highly desirable.
