While the incidence of lung cancer in smokers is decreasing in many more economically developed countries, lung cancer incidence in non-smokers is increasing in many countries. The Sherlock-lung study (Zhang 2021) is collecting cancerous and healthy tissue from 2000 never smoking lung cancer patients and conducting multiomic analysis to elucidate the aetiology and evolutionary paths to progression in this cohort. The Wedge lab pioneered computational methods for studying tumour evolution and heterogeneity using short read, bulk whole genome sequencing (Nik-Zainal 2012, Gerstung 2020). We are now looking for a talented postdoctoral bioinformatian to further develop these methods, taking advantage of the additional information provided by PacBio HiFi sequencing.
