Position open for a data scientist

We have an exciting opportunity for a post-doc or staff scientist to join the Liston lab at The Babraham Institute. The role will be responsible for leading the development of data analysis methods and bioinformatics pipelines for immunology projects. This is a perfect position for a computationally-orientated scientist who wishes to model real biological data and is willing to learn immunology.

Applicants will have a PhD in mathematics, computer science or bioinformatics. For those with additional postdoctoral experience, a more senior position with added responsibilities is available. Applicants from diverse academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply, immunology experience is not essential. Experience at being embedded in a wet-lab environment, prior work on flow cytometry or single-cell RNA-seq data, or experience in machine learning will all be considered strong assets.

This job is ideal for a strong mathematical candidate who wants to apply their knowledge to biological problems. The successful candidate will work as part of a wet/dry mixed lab, develop novel tools, analyse data, create mathematical models and aid in the design of experiments to test those models. The job has potential career development into a long-term staff scientist, or would suit candidates looking to develop skills for an independent position.

The Liston lab is a fun, international and multi-disciplinary environment, which welcomes diversity and supports the career growth of lab members.
