Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab, part of ELIXIR Sweden) is as a national infrastructure supporting advanced high-throughput life science research. SciLifeLab has in recent years launched initiatives around precision medicine, resulting in rapidly increasing data volumes and computing resources, with specific requirements on secure data handling.
To handle technical challenges on the secure compute clusters at the national supercomputer center Uppmax and enable high-impact medical research, SciLifeLab is looking for a computer scientist or a technically skilled bioinformatics expert. The position is placed at the department of Cell and Molecular Biology (ICM) in Uppsala as part of the Bioinformatics Long-term Support team at NBIS/SciLifeLab, and you will thereby be tightly connected to several of the largest ongoing sequencing projects in Sweden. Your role will be to work with systems experts, application experts, and bioinformatics research scientists to identify and remove technical roadblocks and enable world-leading research.
