The Open Targets team at our 5 year anniversary celebration in June 2019
Join our team!
Open Targets is based on the stunning Wellcome Genome Campus, home to some of the world's foremost institutes and organisations in genomics and computational biology. We work in dynamic teams at the interface of academic and pharma industry science on a crucial problem, how to be more successful in making drugs. Working with us, you will be exposed to new technologies and a dynamic set of scientists dedicated to translational research.
Our posts are usually in either one of our academic partners, The Wellcome Sanger Institute or EMBL-EBI and have terms and conditions associated with the employer.
Important note: applications may be reviewed on an ongoing basis and the advertised post(s) may be filled before the stated deadline.
Biocurator
Application closing date: 21 July 2024
Join the Human Genomics Team at the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), as part of the new open-source Perturbation Catalogue project for harmonised and curated human gene, variant, and expression data. This is an opportunity to rise to the challenges of ‘big data’ and make contributions that advance the reach and utility of sequence data.
The new resource will help to address a fundamental need in the scientific and drug discovery community for a comprehensive resource to understand the impact of modifying genes and proteins. You will be responsible for development and implementation of data standards, ontologies, and manual and automated curation protocols for the harmonisation and standardisation of a wealth of perturbation data, helping to address this fundamental need in the scientific community.
