Offer Description
Description of the workplace
The Center for Translational Genomics (CTG) is a prioritized research infrastructure at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, which is part of the Clinical Genomics platform at SciLifeLab . The Clinical Genomics platform offers state-of-the-art genomics-based services (e.g. novel single cell applications) to translational and clinical researchers across Sweden as a whole and promotes rapid translation of new research findings into clinical utility through close collaborations with the regional healthcare providers. The unit is localized at BMC D14 in Lund and currently consists of a multi-disciplinary team of 14 people.
We are now looking for one to two highly driven and team-oriented bioinformaticians, interested in developing and providing cutting-edge research services in genomics, transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing. As a workplace, we safeguard a positive work environment with respect and consideration in our relations with one another.
We offer
Lund University is a state authority, which means you get special benefits, generous holidays and a favorable occupational pension. Read more on the university's website about being employed by us Work with us.
Duties and areas of responsibility
The main tasks of the position include data analysis and processing, and internal project management, of massively parallel sequencing (MPS)-based projects, primarily based on the Illumina sequencing platform. Services currently offered at the facility include both genomics (e.g., WGS), transcriptomics (e.g. RNA-seq) and a wide variety of single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics applications, primarily based on the 10X Genomics technology platforms.
Depending on experience and background, the duties may include one or several of the above-mentioned service areas. The work is versatile and may include one or several of the following duties:
- Daily responsibility for existing bioinformatics routines and workflows
- Development of new bioinformatics workflows and data analysis methods, e.g. in single-cell applications and spatial transcriptomics
- Integration of data management systems (LIMS and project management) to ensure seamless and automated data processing from project initiation to data delivery
- Providing bioinformatic expertise in genomics, transcriptomics and/or single-cell sequencing as well as spatial omics development projects between CTG and local as well as national collaborators
- Active contribution to project meetings with customers of the facility as well as scientific collaborators
- Opportunity to participate in national cutting-edge collaborations in genomics and bioinformatics, e.g. via SciLifeLab and the Swedish national sequencing initiative Genomic Medicine Sweden
Qualifications
We are looking for someone who meets the following requirements.
Requirements for the position are:
- Master or equivalent within a relevant research field (i.e. bioinformatics, engineering, genomics or equivalent)
- experience of working with large-scale sequencing data (DNA and/or RNA based)
- experience of working in a terminal-based Linux environment
- experience in at least one scripting language (e.g. Python or JavaScript)
- excellent oral and written communication skills in English
Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. The tasks require that you have an excellent ability to collaborate and communicate, an excellent ability to structure and prioritize in the work and an excellent ability to work independently as well as to develop new methods, even where existing routines are lacking.
Additional merits for the position are:
- PhD from relevant research field (i.e. bioinformatics, genomics or equivalent)
- experience in analyzing genomics-based data
- experience in analyzing single-cell sequencing and/or spatial omics data
- experience of applying workflow managers (e.g. Nextflow)
- experience of working with containers (e.g., Singularity or Docker)
- experience of collaborating in a version control system (e.g. Git)
- experience of working with a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster
- experience of working with, or having developed, project management systems and/or databases
Further information
The employment is a permanent full time employment with the desired starting date September 1st or as soon as possible upon agreement. Probationary employment of 6 months may be applied.
How to apply
The position is applied for via the university's recruitment system. The application must contain a personal letter in which you describe how you meet the qualification requirements and why you are interested in the position. The application must also contain a CV, including a list of publications, a general description of previous research work, a copy of the doctorate and anything else you wish to refer to (copies of diplomas, grades, information for references, letters of recommendation, etc.)
