Bioinformatician (Lepidoptera Genomic Biologist)
Vacancy Ref: : 026852
Closing Date : 01-Apr-2014
Contact Person : Mark Blaxter mark.blaxter@ed.ac.uk
£30,728 - £36,661
The Blaxter laboratory, in close collaboration with Dr Chris Jiggins of
Cambridge University and Dr Kanchon Dasmahapatra of York University,
is developing a public database that will ultimately include all
lepidopteran (butterfly and moth) genomes, using the ENSEMBL model. We
are seeking a skilled genome biologist, possibly with specific experience
in arthropod genomics, to join the project team. The goal of the project
is to establish a local ENSEMBL database, collate raw and assembled data,
and to deliver resources, such as methods for community annotation,
globally. The post will be based in Mark Blaxter's bioinformatics group
in Edinburgh alongside other bioinformaticians working on lepidopteran
genomics, nematode genomics and other projects.
Applicants must have a strong track record in genome biology of
arthropods or similar taxa (including training or experience to PhD level
or equivalent). The post is a bioinformatics one, and so experience with
Linux or Unix operating systems, and in the integration and analysis
of next-generation sequencing data, preferably in arthropods, is also
strongly desirable.
The post is fixed term for 36 months
