About this position
The Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics at the University of Oxford is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Bioinformatics to join Professor Ana Domingos' research group. This position focuses on bioinformatic research in sympathetic neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on developing and expanding analysis pipelines for single cell atlases using Topometry and transcriptomics workflows in Python and R. The successful candidate will contribute to innovative research at the intersection of neuroscience, biology, and computational science, helping to integrate and expand single cell data resources.
Key responsibilities include providing technical expertise in bioinformatics, managing independent research activities, developing new scientific techniques, and collaborating on scientific publications. The role also involves project management, hypothesis testing, and representing the research group at external meetings. Applicants should have a PhD or be near completion in bioinformatics, experience with single cell sequencing, and a strong publication record, particularly as first author on relevant papers. Proficiency in Python and R is essential, along with specialist knowledge in neuroscience and excellent communication skills.
The position is a full-time, fixed-term contract for 24 months, offering a competitive salary (£39,424 to £47,779 per year) and a comprehensive benefits package, including pension, generous leave, childcare support, and travel discounts.
