Genomic Analysis and Data Coordination for European Xenopus tropicalis Research Groups.

We are looking for a bioinformatician to start as soon as possible, to take over the primary role in implementing the bioinformatics components of the European X-OMICS project: "coordinating integrated and functional genomics for understanding normal and pathological development in Xenopus tropicalis."

The work will involve analysing genomic scale data, using comparative genomics, building databases, maintaining a web site, attending and helping to organise European coordination workshops and liaising with other Xenopus groups in Europe.

Rothamsted Research is the leading UK Research Institute focusing on the science underpinning the sustainability of arable crops and includes research on model plants such as Arabidopsis and the pathogens and insects that affect agricultural systems. An increasing amount of our research uses molecular genetic, genomic and metabolomic techniques. Because of recent strategic investments in crop science and bioenergy crop research, we are expanding our team of bioinformatics scientists in the Department of Biomathematics and Bioinformatics to take advantage of the increasing volume and complexity of data that is being collected.

We are looking for a Scientific Programmer to join us at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory – European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) at the prestigious Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridgeshire. We are a leading international provider of cutting-edge research, service and training in the field of Bioinformatics.

Rothamsted Research wishes to recruit an experienced Senior Bioinformatics Scientist who will take responsibility for developing and supporting a comparative genetic and genomic data analysis pipeline to be used in a range of crop genomics projects. The person appointed will be responsible for working closely with crop scientists from Rothamsted and other BBSRC research institutes. The appointee will lead a local group of bioinformatics scientists responsible for crop informatics projects and interact closely with other bioinformaticians in other crop science centres. The appointee will interact with other bioinformatics staff and would be located in the Bioinformatics Group.

Rothamsted Research wishes to recruit a Bioinformatics Scientist who will take responsibility for developing and supporting software and databases in use by our crop scientists who are dependent on high quality genetic and genomics information.

The person appointed will also be responsible for working closely with a data curator who will need new software and database tools to be able to work productively. The appointee will interact with other bioinformatics staff and would be located in the Bioinformatics Group.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute leads the world in genomic research, with an expanding scientific programme dedicated to understanding gene function in health & disease. With the completion of the human and mouse genome sequence, attention is now turning to the functional analysis of genes in mammals. The generation of gene knockouts in the mouse is one approach to perform such functional studies. Recently large scale international projects have been started to knock out mouse genes in a systematic and coordinated manner. The High Throughput Gene Targetting Team is a member of two such projects and performs a central role in each project to realise the goals of knocking out over half the gene in the mouse genome in the next few years.

Job Description:
The Senior Software Engineer will have a responsible role in the maintenance and development of the databases in the EBI Sequence database group, which include the EMBL nucleotide sequence database, the UniProt protein sequence database, and InterPro, an integrated resource of protein families, domains and sites, IntAct and Integr8.
