FACULTY OF HEALTH AND LIFE SCIENCES

LIVERPOOL SHARED RESEARCH FACILITIES

The Computational Biology Facility (CBF), part of Liverpool Shared Research Facilities at the University of Liverpool, is looking for a research specialist in systems biology, bioinformatics, computational biology or similar disciplines to contribute to a variety of scientific projects to support the UK’s ‘Experimental Arthritis Treatment Centre for Children (EATC4Children; www.EATC4Children.co.uk)’ and the Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust (AHCFT). The EATC4Children sits within the University’s Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences (ILCAMS) within the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health but works with colleagues across the whole of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The post is funded by the NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Paediatric Excellence Initiative site based at Liverpool and LIV-SRF/CBF. The post holder will work in the interface between the CBF and the EATC4Children/AHCFT, being based in central campus at the University of Liverpool but collaborating very closely with the clinical/research team at Alder Hey. The ideal candidate will have experience analysing multivariate datasets, particularly from research environments. This could include the analysis and integration of omics datasets, including single cell analysis, large compendia of sequenced genomes and/or metadata analysis amongst others.

You should have a PhD in systems biology, bioinformatics or a relevant science discipline or have equivalent work experience. You should have a commitment to high quality research and be highly motivated to work in multidisciplinary teams. You will work closely under the director and manager’s guidance and engage with scientific leads of relevant departments and centres within the Faculty to plan and deliver a wide portfolio of research projects. You will engage with the manager/s to coordinate projects and develop pipelines ensuring outputs are completed in a robust scientific timely manner. The CBF operates as a research environment that encourages working independently, supports knowledge expansion and scientific curiosity. You will be part of a supportive team of data scientists and software developers that allow for professional development and information sharing opportunities. As part of the role, you will be expected to actively contribute to the existing research activity within the EATC4Children/AHCFT. You will have the opportunity to develop collaborative and interdisciplinary links that align with their research strategy and overall research theme “Starting Well”. 

You may also be involved in training groups and individuals in the analytical pipelines you have developed and have experience in as well as teaching the current CBF courses and providing new materials as directed by management.
