Researchers in Bioinformatics

Join us at SciLifeLab/NBIS/Chalmers to contribute and develop your competences in computational life sciences. You will enjoy an inspiring environment within a national research infrastructure, with challenging projects and exceptional colleagues.

Information about the research and the division
The primary focus of CSBI is to provide advanced bioinformatics analyses within nationally prioritised projects, as well as establishing computational strategies for analysis of complex, multilayered omics data of different biological systems. CSBI operates as part of a platform unit for "Support, Infrastructure and Training" at SciLifeLab, and is co-organised with the national bioinformatics infrastructure NBIS. At the department of Biology and Biological Engineering at Chalmers, CSBI has a role in identifying and enabling novel research findings as future infrastructure services to the research community.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities will be to deliver advanced bioinformatics and biostatistics analyses within nationally prioritised projects carried out in collaboration with research groups at Swedish universities or industry. You will develop tools and workflows for such analyses and actively promote the concepts of "open science", "reproducible research" and "FAIR data management". Another important aspect involves educating other researchers in bioinformatics through collaboration within supported projects and by teaching at national courses and by networking. You will also take part in the continues improvement and development of the bioinformatics research infrastructure, both at local and national levels. This position will grant you a large degree of intellectual freedom in order to accomplish the responsibilities above.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position, you must hold a doctoral degree in bioinformatics, systems biology, data science or other relevant computational science. Proficiency in working in linux-based computing environments, both HPC and Cloud is a requirement. As a person you have the ability to cooperate and communicate well with others. It is beneficial if you possess good programming/scripting skills. 

The position requires fluent oral and written communication skills in English.

Contract terms
These positions (2) are full-time permanent employments.
