About this job

An exciting hybrid working opportunity has arisen for an experienced Bioinformatician to join a high-impact team supporting clinical-stage assets. Working at the interface of biology and data, you’ll play a key role in unlocking insights from complex patient-level omics datasets to better understand disease biology, treatment effects and safety signals. This is a collaborative environment where your work will directly inform critical scientific and clinical decisions.

In this role you will:

  • Analyse and interpret large-scale omics datasets (with a strong focus on bulk and single-cell RNAseq)
  • Develop and refine bioinformatics pipelines and analytical approaches
  • Generate meaningful biological insights to support clinical programmes
  • Work with cross-functional stakeholders to communicate findings clearly and effectively
  • Ensure robust documentation, reproducibility and best practice coding standards
  • Contribute to scientific reports, presentations and publications

You will bring:

  • MSc/PhD with significant postdoctoral or industry experience (5+ years)
  • Deep expertise analysing large bulk and single-cell RNAseq datasets from complex (ideally clinical) studies
  • Strong programming skills (R essential; others beneficial) and experience in Unix/Linux environments
  • Confident developing and applying methods for functional interpretation of omics data
  • Proven ability to build, adapt and understand bioinformatics pipelines, deriving relevant biological insights (not just run them)
  • A clear, confident communicator, able to translate complex data to a range of shareholders
  • Ability to document code and follow coding best practices
  • A detail-oriented, scientifically rigorous mindset

If you’re looking for a role where your expertise will genuinely shape scientific understanding and influence decision-making, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
