Short summary
In this role, you will collaborate with Francis Crick scientists to analyse data from the latest, cutting edge genomic sequencing technologies. You will work closely with the scientific groups to generate, interpret and explain analysis results to help drive forward discovery. You will have the opportunity to input on the experimental and analysis design process, build bespoke analysis pipelines using the latest analysis methods, publish work in collaboration with the scientific groups and help develop others through mentoring.
In this position, you will be working within a talented and dynamic team where you can apply your bioinformatics skills to technology-driven research questions across the broad range of human health research activities found at the Crick. The successful applicants will have a proven track record in collaborative academic research, including statistical analysis and interpretation of large, complex datasets.

Significant experience across a range of high-throughput sequencing methods and common analysis workflows is necessary.
Key Responsibilities
About us
The Francis Crick Institute is a biomedical discovery institute dedicated to understanding the fundamental biology underlying health and disease. Its work is helping to understand why disease develops and to translate discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases.
An independent organisation, its founding partners are the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, UCL, Imperial College London and King’s College London.
The Crick was formed in 2015, and in 2016 it moved into a new state-of-the-art building in central London which brings together 1500 scientists and support staff working collaboratively across disciplines, making it the biggest biomedical research facility under in one building in Europe.
The Francis Crick Institute will be world-class with a strong national role. Its distinctive vision for excellence includes commitments to collaboration; developing emerging talent and exporting it the rest of the UK; public engagement; and helping turn discoveries into treatments as quickly as possible to improve lives and strengthen the economy.
