Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Genomics

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Cancer Genomics to join our team at the University of Edinburgh, funded by a Medical Research Council. This is a unique opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project involving multiomics data analysis of myeloma genomes, focusing on structural variants and heterochromatin rearrangements. You will have the chance to develop advanced computational pipelines, contribute to impactful publications, and collaborate with leading researchers both in the UK and US laboratories. Whether you are looking to advance your computational skills or engage in translational research, this role offers substantial career development opportunities. 

This post is fixed-term (for 36 months) and full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working. 

The salary for this post is at Grade UE07: £40,497 to £48,149 per annum, pro-rata if part-time.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• PhD (or near completion) in a relevant field.
• Strong coding skills in Python/R and Linux/UNIX, or expertise in structural variant analysis with motivation to upskill computationally.
• Experience in cancer genomics/epigenomics and high-throughput sequencing.
• Proven track record of independent research with at least one first-author paper.
• Enthusiastic about academic growth, including presenting work and supporting junior researchers.
