Applications are invited for a Bioinformatician in the laboratory of Professor Steve Jackson based in the internationally renowned Gurdon Institute in the centre of Cambridge, UK (https://www.stevejacksonlab.org/).We wish to recruit a versatile individual to participate in data-driven projects addressing mechanisms by which mutations arise and how they influence cancer cell proliferation and survival. The post-holder will work on collaborative projects based on biological data generated by other group members. There will also be opportunities to lead specific project areas, in line with the overall research objectives of the lab.

Research Software Engineer (ICCS) (Fixed Term)
University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 January 2028 in the first instance. In the face of the present climate crisis, there is pressing need for skilled software engineers to aid climate scientists in delivering a new generation of high-quality, high-performance, and high-assurance models. This is the broad aim of these RSE posts at the new Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) at the University of Cambridge. Who you will be working with ICCS hosts a team of Research Software Engineers who are working directly with four international Schmidt Futures' Virtual Earth Systems Research Institutes (VESRI) to directly address specific computation and research software needs of climate scientists. The team of RSEs will also interact closely with researchers based at ICCS. Thus, this provides a unique opportunity to be involved in research projects directly connected to climate science but also broader research into supporting climate science...
