Job Description

Bioinformatician, non-model species, NGS pipelines, Python, Machine Learning, COR7292
My client, a cutting-edge start-up within the AgriTech space, is seeking a Bioinformatician with experience in designing and developing NGS pipelines for the analysis of non-model species to join their growing R&D team. This is an exceptional opportunity to work on breakthrough innovations that aim to transform global agriculture through data-driven insight.
As the Bioinformatician you'll play a critical role in building and optimising next-generation sequencing (NGS) pipelines for diverse, non-model plant species. You'll curate and mine large datasets to identify key traits that can drive the development of high-performing, climate-resilient crops. You'll also have the opportunity to apply cutting-edge tools such as machine learning and AI and work collaboratively with experimental biologists to turn genomic insights into real-world agricultural impact.
The Company
This dynamic and well-funded Oxford University spin-out is developing pioneering genetic technologies that tap into nature's wild innovations to strengthen the world's key crops. With significant backing and an ambitious roadmap, this team is set to make a global impact on farming, food security, and climate resilience.
