The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute leads the world in genomic research, with an expanding scientific programme dedicated to understanding the role of genomes in biological systems.

Ensembl Developer (2 posts Interpreting vertebrate genome sequence is one of the most challenging scientific information problems for this century. The Ensembl project (http://www.ensembl.org) is the world-wide leader in this task. Ensembl is a joint project between the EBI and the Sanger Institute, funded by the Wellcome Trust. We have one of the world’s largest dedicated computer resources for genomic analysis. We constantly need to extend and adapt the system to cope with new data sources, and are looking for developers to join this exciting project.

Role:
A vacancy has arisen Lonza biologics - Advanced Protein Technologies group (Cambridge-UK) for a Senior Scientist in Structural Bioinformatics / Computational Biochemistry to develop and expand its technology platform.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and run software tools required for protein aggregation analysis, protein stability, conformational characterisation and protein engineering.
- Design and implement modifications to existing tools to expand their current capabilities and throughput. Co-ordinate research activities with other members of APT as well as external collaborators and contractors to consolidate and enhance current in silico platform technology.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute uses large-scale sequencing, informatics and analysis of genetic variation to understand gene function in health and disease and to generate resources of lasting value.

The Sanger website regularly takes in the order of 12 million hits each week and supports over twenty Sanger hosted websites.

As a web developer in the Web team you will be involved in maintaining this world class web service and ensure that the institute's data resources are made available across the world via the numerous Sanger hosted websites. The successful candidate will work as part of the team and be involved in the ongoing development and implementation of high quality, user friendly web interfaces to support the scientific web services.

The Medical Research Council's Biostatistics Unit is based at Cambridge and aims to advance medical science by the development of statistical methodology and collaboration in major research studies. It is one of Europe's leading biostatistics research institutions and includes many internationally renowned statisticians.

Research Officer/Information Scientist
£25,000 - £27,000 (dependent on qualifications and skillset)

This is a new and exciting opportunity for an individual with a good understanding of the research environment to support the Unit and its Director in the day to day management of internal and external aspects of its research activities.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute - Bringing Biology to the Genome

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is internationally recognized as one of the world's leading genome centres. Our programmes are at the forefront of experimental and computational genome research and the scientists, students and fellows who run these programmes come from all over the globe. Our research programmes emphasise sequencing, computational interpretation of genomic data, biological studies of human and animal pathogens, experimental genetic analysis of gene function in a variety of model organisms, and the investigation of human genetic variation in cancer and other common diseases.
