More about EMBL-EBI

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.

You have

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.
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.

Why join us

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.

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.

Working at EMBL-EBI

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
What else you need to know

EMBL is Europe’s flagship research laboratory for the life sciences - an intergovernmental organisation performing scientific research in disciplines including molecular biology, physics, chemistry and computer science.
