• Experience with databases and data management.
• Strong understanding of genomics and transcriptomics.
• Ability to interpret scientific literature and apply findings.

Responsibilities

• Analysing and integrating large-scale genomic and multi-omic datasets.
• Working with bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, methylome and proteomic data.
• Developing computational approaches and algorithms to answer complex biological questions.
• Identifying patterns and signatures within datasets and translating these into meaningful biological insights.
• Working with scientists to inform experimental design and data interpretation.
• Developing and maintaining bioinformatics tools, software and databases.
