The role will primarily include the development, implementation and application of data processing workflows, including experimental design, pre-processing, and statistical analysis of large scale LC-MS based metabolomics studies; collaboration with researchers within and external to the university (academic, industry, scientific instrument manufacturers); and providing training and support in bioinformatics. 

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement computational workflows, to be applied in human health and toxicology research, enhancing the capabilities and capacity of the PCB
  • Perform extensive pre-processing of metabolomics data acquired on the mass spectrometry platforms in the PCB, in particular for the PrecisionTox project
  • Conduct an array of univariate and multivariate statistical analysis of data acquired on the mass spectrometry platforms, in particular for the PrecisionTox project
  • Manage and ensure optimal operation of software and other bioinformatics resources so to meet research goals in a timely manner
  • Curate datasets both locally at Birmingham and at international data repositories 

We are looking for someone with: 

  • First degree in bioinformatics, (bio)chemistry, mathematics, statistics or computer science, and a PhD or equivalent experience in computational metabolomics, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, biostatistics or a closely related area
  • High level of experience in the computational analysis of metabolomics data.
  • High level analytical capability.
  • Good understanding of principles involved in data processing, including relevant software (e.g. XCMS, Compound Discoverer, etc)
  • Hands-on skills in bioinformatics, data science or data analytics. 

The closing date for applications is DATE.
