Project Team and Title: Cortes-Ciriano Group– The Cortes-Ciriano group studies the mutational processes and mechanisms of genome instability underpinning tumorigenesis, immune escape, and drug response through the analysis of multi-omic, high-throughput data of tumors and pre-clinical models.

Ultimately, it aims to uncover novel pharmacological targets for cancer therapy and biomarkers of drug response. More information about the group can be found here.

Project Outline: EMBL-EBI invite applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the field of cancer genomics. We are looking for an intrinsically motivated, talented, and hypothesis-driven individual with experience in analyzing high-throughput sequencing data sets.

Job Role:

to lead the development of scalable and creative computational solutions for cancer multi-omic data integration.
developing computational pipelines for analyzing and interpreting Illlumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing data (bulk and single-cell data) from human tumor samples that our clinical collaborators have collected.
