About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for an individual with work experience in a life science field to join our Core Informatics team. We seek someone who is excited and committed to tackling dementia through collaborative efforts across a dementia organisation that is committed to advancing dementia research.
You will participate in several stages of data life cycle management, such as processing, curating, managing, and submitting the large and diverse amounts of data generated and prioritised by research groups from across the UK DRI. The data that you will be working with will have a focus on the non-neuronal cells of the brain, known as glia, as well as exploring the interactions between the immune system and nervous system.
What we are looking for
You will have a Master’s degree in a scientific or numerate field and familiarity with bioinformatics techniques and data curation. Practical experience with processing and analysis of large datasets, particularly next-generation sequencing, is essential, as is an understanding of the UK DRI, an interest in its research work, and a commitment to supporting high-quality research. Demonstrable programming skills in R and/or Python, excellent oral and written communication skills, and good interpersonal skills are also a requirement.
