Applications are invited for a Bioinformatician to join the Laboratory of Dr Falk Hildebrand at the Earlham Institute.

The role:

This post requires an experienced bioinformatician with an interest to study reconstructed microbial genomes in metagenomes (bacterial, archaeal, fungal). The post-holder will be involved in conceptualizing & implementing bioinformatic pipelines to analyse large time-series metagenomes (human gut, soil, …), based on data from 2nd and 3rd gen sequencing platforms, such as illumina, PacBio, ONT, Hi-C & single cell sequencing data. The analysis will be published in research papers that the candidate should be leading.

Salary range: £32,578 - £39,938

Application closing date: 14 April 2022

Opportunity for an outstanding post-doctoral scientist to work on a collaborative project between the Patron Group at the Earlham Institute (EI) and the O'Connor group at The John Innes Centre (JIC). The project aims to improve plant production chassis for heterologous bioproduction of proteins (including vaccines) and metabolites and to contribute to our understanding of how the rich endogenous metabolism of plants detoxifies foreign molecules. The post-holder will have access to facilities at the Earlham DNA Foundry, interact with stakeholders at LeafSystems® and have the opportunity to work and collaborate with scientists in the Cambridge-Norwich OpenPlant Synthetic Biology Research Centre.
