Ensembl Regulation Project Leader - Vertebrate Genomics - EBI - UK (April 2012)
Job Description : We are looking to recruit a Project Leader for the Ensembl Project which is part of the Vertebrate Genomics Team at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) located on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus near Cambridge in the UK. The Ensembl Project, a leading-edge international database providing genomic annotation to the scientific community, seeks an exceptionally talented and motivated project leader to lead our efforts to understand whole genome regulation. The Ensembl Regulation team is responsible to develop and apply new methods to identify and classify regulatory elements leading to Ensembl's evidence-based, cell-type specific genome regulatory annotation. The team is also responsible for building functional genomics databases for each Ensembl release and development and maintenance of the regulation MySQL databases and Perl APIs. The Regulation project leader will be responsible for setting the direction and priorities of Ensembl Regulation and will be expected to participate in major functional and epigenomics projects including the EU-funded Blueprint project and ENCODE. Additional responsibilities include representing the Regulation team and Ensembl at internal and external meetings, working with the Ensembl webteam and user to develop effective data displays, hiring and training staff and participation in the overall leadership of the Ensembl project. Working on Ensembl at EMBL-EBI provides access to an international collection of projects at the leading edge of bioinformatics. EMBL-EBI is a world-leading bioinformatics centre providing biological data to the scientific community, with expertise in data storage, analysis and representation and is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). Qualifications and Experience : The successful candidate will have a PhD in genetics, molecular biology, bioinformatics or other relevant field or masters degree in one of these topics with significant experience in the field. Management experience as well as experience with epigenetic data, epigenomics, ChIP-sequencing and similar technologies is desirable but not essential. The candidate must have extensive bioinformatics experience, including experience with relational databases, object-orientated Perl programming and familiarity with high throughput DNA sequencing data. Additional programming experience in C or Python would be a distinct advantage as would experience with the existing Ensembl code base, API and data analysis pipelines.
