More about EMBL-EBI

We are seeking an outstanding individual to lead the development of the Functional Genomics and Single Cell Biology resources at EMBL-EBI.

Recent rapid advances in single cell sequencing, spatial ‘omics, high-resolution multiplexed imaging and other novel technologies are generating enormous volumes of life sciences research data to measure the molecular composition of living organisms at the resolution of cell types or states, individual cells, or even at subcellular scales. A leading example of these developments is the Human Cell Atlas project, which the EMBL-EBI has been a part of via the development of the HCA Data Coordination Platform and Gene Expression Atlas. The importance of bioinformatics data resources to curate and permanently archive these data and make them reusable for the scientific community has never been so high. Continuing technological progress and scientific activity make this an exciting and fast-moving field. The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBl-EBI) has the mission, and is ideally placed, to address these challenges.

Your role

**Closing date**: 24 September 2023

**Contract duration**: 5 years

**Grading**: Grade 9 (monthly salary from £5,596.39 after tax) plus benefits

**Reference number**: EBI02166

You have

A PhD degree in a relevant field
At least 3 years postdoctoral experience in the field of bioinformatics, data science or related areas
Good understanding of the bioinformatics data landscape, data standards, and analysis methods
Knowledge of research in single cell or spatial transcriptomics data and analysis methods, for instance, authorship of scientific publications and/or software packages
Project and people-management experience
Software development skills and experience in, or understanding of, modern software development by developer teams
Ability to engage within the wider bioinformatics community
Interpersonal skills and a collaborative spirit
The ambition and drive to develop scientific services for the wider research community

You might also have

Experience in writing successful grants
Experience in managing a budget
An established profile in the international single cell or spatial transcriptomics research community
Participation in external collaborations, presentations in international meetings
