Postdoctoral Fellow (Genome Assembly)

Salary range: £31,503 to £39,492 (depending on experience) plus excellent benefits

Fixed term contract for 3 years

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced computational scientist to develop genome assembly algorithms using 3rd generation sequencing data.

The Wellcome Sanger Institute is a world leader in genomic research, with an expanding scientific programme dedicated to understanding gene function in health & disease.

In the High Performance Assembly group, part of Sequencing Informatics, we develop algorithms and software tools for de novo genome assembly and sequence alignment for various applications. High profile projects such as the Genome10K Vertebrate Genome Project (VGP) and the Cancer Genome Project start to collect and sequence a large number of human and non-human samples, aiming for high quality de novo assemblies. The sequencing platforms include, but not limited to PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, 10X genomics, Bionano and HiC etc and the VGP consortium plans to combine various data types in order to produce assemblies with the best quality. The 2nd and 3rd generation sequencing technologies offer huge amount of sequencing output at massively reduced costs but the new datasets pose significant challenges in the assembly progress. To further strengthen our bioinformatics applications development, we are looking for outstanding computational scientists to join us working in this exciting area.
