Bioinformatics Officer, the Francis Crick Institute, London

Posted by s.hettrick on 28 September 2015 - 11:43am

The Francis Crick Institute (the Crick) is a partnership between the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Wellcome Trust, University College London (UCL), Imperial College London and King’s College London. It is a registered charity whose purpose is to conduct biomedical research into all aspects of human health and disease.

The Institute will be a world-leading centre of biomedical research and innovation. It will promote connections between researchers and disciplines and between academic institutions, healthcare organisations and businesses. Dedicated to research excellence, the institute will have the scale, vision and expertise to tackle the most challenging scientific questions underpinning health and disease. It will be world-class with a strong national role — training scientists and developing ideas for public good. On 1 April 2015, staff from the London Research Institute (CRUK) and National Institute for Medical Research (MRC) transferred to the Crick to form a fully functional research institute on four sites. In 2016, the Crick will move to a single new, purpose built research centre in St. Pancras, which will house some 1,500 staff.

The position of Bioinformatics Officer – Scientific Computing for Mass Spectrometry Data has been created to implement the planning, operation and maintenance of a software infrastructure for the analysis and sharing of Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics data. Emerging mass spectrometry applications in the ‘omics’ area such as proteomics and metabolomics generate an increasing amount of raw data. To efficiently test biological hypotheses using mass spectrometry and to deal with large amounts of data it is crucial for scientists to have quick and efficient access to this information. This role is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and/or ambitious individual who wishes to implement the latest scientific computing strategies for the analysis of mass spectrometry data.
