with genomics data, developing novel algorithms and generating new
biological hypotheses to join our Computational Sciences Center of
Emphasis in Sandwich, UK.
Specific areas of interest include:
• Identification of new datasets and data mining techniques relevant
to drug discovery
• Developing and testing novel methods and algorithms, working with
academic collaborators where opportunities arise
• Building and testing prototype systems (both interfaces and
algorithm libraries)
• Working with scientists to apply tools to every day problems
• Awarded or about to obtain Ph.D. in a life sciences, computational /
quantitative sciences discipline or equivalent experience
• Familiar with key recent publications, techniques and algorithms
within computational biology and genomics
• Knowledge of applied mathematics / statistics and algorithm development.
• The ability to apply understanding of statistics / machine learning
to new problems and datasets
• A sound understanding of molecular biology and application of
algorithms to solve biological problems
• A sound understanding of current state of the art methods in omics
data analysis, geneset enrichment, network analysis and genetics
• Advanced knowledge of a prototyping and scripting language (e.g.
R/Python/Ruby etc.) to work up new methods and algorithms and deliver
prototype code
• Working knowledge of production languages such as Java
