Description

Epigenetics, Development and Cancer Section (3 years)
MRC Band 4 £29,663 – £35,399 per annum inclusive
London W12

The Epigenetics, Development and Cancer Section of the CSC takes a multidisciplinary approach to gain fundamental insights into the epigenetic and transcriptional control of gene expression, development, and cancer. Our work aims at a better understanding of human health and disease and the development of new biological therapies (http://www.csc.mrc.ac.uk/Research/Groups/EDC/).

Working closely with biologists and computational scientists at the CSC, Imperial College and external collaborators you will provide support and training to research groups in the Epigenetics, Development and Cancer Section. You will use existing tools and develop novel approaches for the analysis and visualisation of data from array hybridisation and high throughput sequencing (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) projects. You will integrate these data with information from genomic databases (sequence features, conservation, repetitive elements, etc.). The post requires significant postgraduate experience in bioinformatics, analysis of microarray data, programming, a good understanding of biology and excellent communication skills.
