The interface between computing, biology and medicine is

one of the most fertile and fastest growing areas of research

and development. One area in which this is most apparent

is genomics, where vast amounts of data are generated

and a range of bioinformatics resources are used. The NHS

is utilising advances in this area in day to day diagnostic

testing and management in order to provide the highest

quality in patient care.

Healthcare Science is one of the most exciting and dynamic

areas to work within the NHS.

Join a unique team who are inspired to apply their exceptional

scientific knowledge and skills to the prevention, diagnosis

and treatment of disease and the rehabilitation of patients.

Excellent training opportunities are offered within this

national postgraduate training programme located in

hospitals and health services in England and Wales.

This is a three year postgraduate programme and

successful candidates will be employed by an NHS Trust

for the duration of their training. Trainees are also enrolled

for a fully funded part time vocational master’s degree.

Posts are available across England with one in Cardiff,

Wales. They are due to start in September 2013.

They demand collaboration. Dedication. Talent. Teamwork.

Job Opportunities – Computational Biology

The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric

Cancer Genome Project (PCGP) is the largest investment to date aimed at

understanding the genetic origins of childhood cancers. PCGP is establishing

an on-site, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments certified laboratory

at St. Jude. This lab will use next-generation sequencing (NGS) to evaluate

samples from St. Jude patients and will explore the optimal way to use this

data in patient care. To support the clinical genomics initiative, we are

recruiting for multiple positions in the Computational Biology Department.

The Computational Biology Department has a well-established track record in

developing and delivering state-of-the-art computational methods for analyzing

NGS data and for producing high-impact publications in top-tier journals. We

are looking for highly motivated and talented bioinformatics scientists and

engineers to work on competitive projects and solve challenging problems in

genomic and epigenetic profiling of pediatric cancer for both research and

clinical applications.
