The Clinical Genomics Laboratory at Cambridge University Hospitals has an exciting opportunity for experienced Bioinformaticians to join the clinical bioinformatics team within the Laboratory, and within the East Midlands and East of England Genomics Laboratory Hub, based in Cambridge. The East Midlands and East of England NHS Genomic Laboratory Hub (EMEE GLH) is one of seven Genomic Hubs recently established to provide the new National Genomic Medicine Service for NHS England. Led by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and working with Nottingham University Hospital and University Hospital Leicester, the EMEE GLH will offer a high quality service to deliver the tests listed in the National Genomic Test Directory, for a population of 10million. This includes diagnostic tests for inherited disorders and for cancer, disease monitoring and predictive tests, and in future will include pharmacogenomic testing. The EMEE GLH is currently in a mobilisation phase, undergoing large scale change to consolidate several services on a single site. As part of this transformation we require experienced bioinformaticians to help develop and introduce new tools to facilitate large scale, high throughput, high quality and efficient genomic analyses, interpretation and reporting. Additionally the role includes training and supervision of Bioinformatics trainees, and providing routine bioinformatic support and advice for the clinical genomics diagnostic service. You will work with a wide range of personnel within the department, across the region covered by the GLH, and with national bodies, including scientists, technicians, clinicians and academics. Appointment to Agenda for Change pay Band 7 requires HCPC Registration, however suitably experienced bioinformaticians without registration are encouraged to apply, and if appointed would be paid on Agenda for Change Annex 21 for trainees, while gaining the training and experience required for registration. Please contact us if you wish to discuss this, or any other aspect of the job.
