The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is seeking an exceptional scientist to provide strong academic leadership for its computational genomics programme. Much of the Institute’s science depends on computational processing and analysis of genomic data. The computational genomics programme plays a pivotal role by driving computational innovation, enabling the systematic integration of data and methods and developing data resources.
The successful applicant will be a recognised international leader in the field of computational biology with a substantial track record of research achievement. S/he will have the scientific vision to drive the Institute’s future informatics strategy and to achieve effective integration with, and influence the scientific direction of, its programmes in pathogen variation, human, model organism and cellular genetics. S/he will also have demonstrated strong leadership qualities and management skills, coupled with the ability to take wider responsibility for the development and mentorship of others.
As a senior faculty member the appointee will be supported to pursue their personal research interests and have access to the Institute’s DNA pipelines and other core resources/facilities. The funding envelope available to the new Head will enable the recruitment of additional faculty in computational genomics. S/he will also have internal leadership responsibilities as a member of the Institute’s Board of Management and will play an important role in the strategic management of the Institute.

Applications should be made through our on-line recruitment facility https://jobs.sanger.ac.uk accompanied by:
- curriculum vitae, complete list of publications and details of three referees;
- a two page description summarising scientific achievements to date;
- a three page outline of future research plans indicating how these fit with, contribute to and make use of Sanger programmes and infrastructure;
- a two page summary of leadership experience and accomplishments to date together with an indication of the vision you will bring to the Institute and its management.
Applications from women, who are under-represented in our Faculty, are particularly encouraged, although we welcome approaches from any scientists with relevant research interests.
