Full Time:
The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7. The salary range will be £33,686 to £40,716 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.
Applications are invited for a bright and highly motivated Research Associate Bioinformatician to join the Bioinformatics Image Core Facility (BIONIC) at the MRC LMCB/University College London led by Dr Janos Kriston-Vizi. BIONIC works closely with the Translational Research Resource Centre (TRRC) led by Dr Robin Ketteler that facilitates large-scale cell-based screening using functional genomics technologies and high-content imaging. The successful candidate will be analyzing microscopic image data from High-Throughput Screening and High-Content imaging experiments and develop software tools for data handling and data mining of experimental data. The successful applicant will interact closely with biologists and other researchers in the department and across other faculties at UCL.
