  • Computational Biologists/Bioinformaticians, University of Cambridge, UK

    Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK

    Computational Biologists / Bioinformaticians

    Vacancy Reference No: PD00228. Salary: £27,578-£35,938 pa
    Fixed-term: The funds are available for 2 years in the first instance
    Full or part time basis

    Professor Baulcombe's laboratory is at the forefront of research into small RNAs and their role in regulation, development and evolution. His group is generating a wealth of data using high throughput sequencing, as well as using genetic and cell biology approaches. There is a particular interest in developing methods for the analysis of large databases of siRNAs and miRNAs in Arabidopsis, Chlamydomonas, tomato and other plants, and for modelling the behaviour of small RNA systems and their effect on gene silencing at the RNA and DNA level.

    Within the laboratory there is a computational biology group that works closely with experimentalists in the lab. We are looking for talented individuals with quantitative and computational skills to join the group.
    Skills in one or more of the following would be an advantage: statistics, computational biology, bioinformatics, programming (R, Perl), databases (mySQL, Postgres). A real interest in biology is essential.

    You should have a higher degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, with strong quantitative and/or programming skills and a good knowledge of biology.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
