About this position

Applications are open for the EMBL-EBI-Sanger Postdoctoral (ESPOD) programme, a collaborative postdoctoral opportunity between the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

The programme is designed for researchers interested in bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, data science, and related areas. ESPOD projects combine wet-lab and dry-lab experience, and applicants can choose from a list of available projects or propose their own project, provided it involves at least one group from each of the two institutes.

This is a 36-month postdoctoral position with funding at EMBL stipend rates (£3,535.78/month after tax, excluding pension and insurance). The start date is within 12 months of being awarded. Interviews will be held in person on 10 December at the Wellcome Genome Campus, UK.
