Become part of Stockholm’s vibrant life science community and interact with bright, kind and international colleagues at the Science for Life Laboratory! The
National Genomics Infrastructure is hiring a new permanent bioinformatician in Stockholm. 🇸🇪
The Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) is an institution for the advancement of molecular bio-sciences in Sweden and part of the national research infrastructure. It consists of ten platforms, each covering a specific area of expertise and technology with relevance to the life sciences. The National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) platform provides access to state of the art DNA sequencing technology and operates devices from various technology providers such as Illumina, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Pacific Biosciences or Element Biosciences.
The NGI offers a broad method spectrum including e.g. spatial transcriptomics and we
deliver hundreds of projects per year.
Working as a bioinformatician at NGI is very diverse and you need to be somewhat of a tinkerer that can tackle a huge variety of tasks. But on the upside that means: Your job will
never be boring. Your work tasks may include delivering sequencing data to our users (which means doing the QC control and running some nf-core pipelines on it) or occasionally also doing a bespoke in-depth analysis for internal purposes. Furthermore, it is appreciated if you are contributing to nf-core or can write custom scripts and tools in Python or Rust. You may find yourself configuring some AWS services, evaluating software from commercial providers, writing custom extensions to our LIMS system or developing/extending a web application.
I am happy to answer questions about living in Stockholm and the work at our facility.
