How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Job description

    An exciting hybrid working opportunity has arisen for an experienced Bioinformatician to join a high-impact team supporting clinical-stage assets. Working at the interface of biology and data, you’ll play a key role in unlocking insights from complex patient-level omics datasets to better understand disease biology, treatment effects and safety signals. This is a collaborative environment where your work will directly inform critical scientific and clinical decisions.

    In this role you will:

    * Analyse and interpret large-scale omics datasets (with a strong focus on bulk and single-cell RNAseq)

    * Develop and refine bioinformatics pipelines and analytical approaches

    * Generate meaningful biological insights to support clinical programmes

    * Work with cross-functional stakeholders to communicate findings clearly and effectively

    * Ensure robust documentation, reproducibility and best practice coding standards

    * Contribute to scientific reports, presentations and publications

    You will bring:

    * MSc/PhD with significant postdoctoral or industry experience (5+ years)

    * Deep expertise analysing large bulk and single-cell RNAseq datasets from complex (ideally clinical) studies

    * Strong programming skills (R essential; others beneficial) and experience in Unix/Linux environments

    * Confident developing and applying methods for functional interpretation of omics data

    * Proven ability to build, adapt and understand bioinformatics pipelines, deriving relevant biological insights (not just run them)

    * A clear, confident communicator, able to translate complex data to a range of shareholders

    * Ability to document code and follow coding best practices

    * A detail-oriented, scientifically rigorous mindset

    If you’re looking for a role where your expertise will genuinely shape scientific understanding and influence decision-making, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or get in touch for a confidential discussion
