United Kingdom EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) Full time €5,596

At EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), we help scientists realise the potential of 'big data' in biology, exploiting complex information to make discoveries that benefit humankind.

EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is seeking talented and highly-motivated scientists to join its Faculty to develop their own independent research group. We welcome applicants from across the whole field of computational biology, in particular working at the interface of artificial intelligence and biology. Women, who are under-represented in our Faculty, are especially being encouraged to apply.

EMBL-EBI is a global leader in computational biology and bioinformatics. Our research groups develop and apply computational approaches to answer fundamental and applied questions, ranging from studying how the genome has evolved through to how the microbiome affects our health and the impact of protein structure on drug responses. From a computational perspective, research in the Institute builds and expands upon a variety of methods, from strategies for sequence analysis through to high-dimensional statistical models, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Computational methods developed by groups based at EMBL-EBI are amongst the most widely used by the scientific community, providing the building blocks for future technical advances and scientific discovery. Please refer to the EMBL-EBI webpage and the individual group descriptions to learn more about the research currently being done in the Institute.

As well as joining one of the world’s leading computational biology institutes, you will also become a member of the wider EMBL Faculty. In line with EMBL’s scientific programme Molecules to Ecosystems , EMBL-EBI is particularly interested in candidates that have research programmes related to EMBL’s transversal themes . All of our group leaders are embedded in the multidisciplinary and collaborative environment of EMBL, which provides many opportunities for interaction with other research groups.

The EMBL-EBI is also deeply embedded in the local Cambridge environment, which represents an outstanding ecosystem for performing world-leading research in the biological sciences Your role

You will establish and lead an independent research group to pursue ambitious and innovative research goals.

To enable your research, EMBL-EBI will provide a generous package of core support, including salary support for PhD students, bioinformaticians and postdoctoral researchers. You will also have access to outstanding computational infrastructure including high performance clusters and GPU compute, no formal teaching responsibilities, and complete academic freedom.

EMBL’s current programme, Molecules to Ecosystems, includes a vision to advance our understanding of ecosystems at the molecular level, applying expertise in molecular biology to study life in its natural context. New research areas will focus on applying experimental, computational and theoretical approaches to study at multiple levels (molecules, cells, tissues and populations) how organisms interact with each other and respond to environmental change. EMBL-EBI will be happy to host computational activities related to the new transversal themes .
  • Planetary Biology – aiming to understand how microbes, plants, and animals interact with each other and with their abiotic environments at the molecular level.
  • Microbial Ecosystems – studying microorganisms, how they live in communities and interact with their environments, including host organisms.
  • Infection Biology - unravelling new strategies to treat infections by studying pathogens, their molecular machineries, their interface with the host, and their ability to spread in populations and across hosts.
  • Human Ecosystems – applying computational and experimental approaches to reveal the impact of the environment on human health and physiology, both at the individual and the population level.
  • T heory - using modelling, mathematical reasoning, and conceptual approaches to study complex and dynamic biological systems.

Contract duration: 5 years (renewable to a maximum of 9 years)

Grading: Grade 9 - monthly salary starting at £5,596 after tax plus benefits

  • An aspiration to work on key questions in bioinformatics and computational biology, which implies both biological discoveries and methodological advances. Furthermore, your research will complement and synergise with the activities of EMBL-EBI and the whole of EMBL. You should therefore demonstrate a strong motivation to work in the collaborative and multidisciplinary environment of EMBL.
  • The successful candidate will have a concise research plan with clearly outlined highly original and ambitious research goals.
  • A PhD degree in biological, physical or mathematical sciences is required, with an interest in the wider field of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
  • The ability to work independently and to participate in a collaborative team effort is required, as is a proactive and positive problem-solving mind-set.
You might also have
  • Experience supervising PhD students, Master Theses, and Postdoctoral Fellows. You should be dedicated to developing effective relationships and to providing leadership and guidance to team members.
  • Experience of promoting your own work and broader science to specialist scientific media and general audiences.

EMBL-EBI appoints group leaders from early on in their career and provides a very supportive environment for your first independent position in order to achieve your research goals. The initial "Lead your Lab" management training is provided for all incoming group leaders.

Our research-supportive environment has enabled scientists at EMBL-EBI to produce breakthrough works, and to pursue fascinating, demanding avenues of enquiry. Work from EMBL-EBI researchers is frequently highly cited, impacting disciplines from protein structures through to single-cell genomics, and from microbiology through to cancer.

EMBL is curiosity-driven, community-oriented and international. As an inclusive, equal opportunity employer, we believe that diversity enables us to collaborate more effectively and be innovative in our approaches. We are, therefore, committed to creating an inclusive and flexible culture - one where everyone can realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to our organisation.

We encourage applications from individuals who can complement our existing team – we believe that success is built on having teams whose backgrounds and personal experiences reflect the diversity of the populations that our science serves. We actively encourage applications from all genders and cultures, ethnic groups and all demographics to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights at this transformational point in our people strategy.

EMBL offers attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation with a very collegial and family-friendly working environment. Competitive salary and social security benefits, financial support for relocation, a relaxed culture, professional development, an on-site nursery, canteen and other staff facilities make EMBL-EBI a great place to work.

Join our diverse team and help power the next generation of discoveries in the life sciences.

"We have a lot of smart people here. I really enjoy making sure they have the right environment to maximise their potential."
Andy Yates, Team Leader
