Bioinformatician Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease

We have an exciting opportunity for a Bioinformatician to work on the BRC infectious diseases theme and join Prof Ravi Gupta's group, based within the new Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID).

The Gupta lab has led pioneering work into SARS-CoV-2 variants and within host evolution, in addition to molecular virology. The lab has a long standing interest in HIV evolution and drug resistance.

The work will be pursued in the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID). This building with state-of-the-art facilities, is housed on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus alongside the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute.

The role holder will have experience of using computational approaches to analyse diverse virus and bacterial genomic datasets.

This opportunity requires scripting ability (at least one of Perl, Python or Bash), familiarity with short and long read sequence data processing and analysis, and relevant statistical understanding, preferably within the R environment.
