The Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) has state-of-the-art Illumina DNA sequencers and is a primary site for cutting-edge ”next-gen” sequencing in Finland. For example, FIMM has sequenced over 200 human exomes. We are looking for a bioinformatician to further develop analysis and data mining capabilities for exciting projects utilising high throughput sequencing. Many of the collaborative projects aim at identifying disease-causing genetic changes, with some directly aiming at helping physicians to more accurately diagnose and better treat the disease of a patient. The post offers ample opportunities to collaborate with different research groups as well as possibilities to advance research career, such as authorship in publications. FIMM has altogether over 25 bioinformaticians and IT professionals, providing critical mass, significant expertise and support as well as an extensive international collaboration network.
