We are seeking an experienced and talented bioinformatician with a keen interest in biomedical research and a systematic and thorough approach to their work. The successful candidate will join the world-leading MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit (IEU; http://www.bristol.ac.uk/integrative-epidemiology/), working primarily on the very detailed data in the Born in Bradford cohort (BiB; https://borninbradford.nhs.uk/).

The successful candidate will also work across other birth cohorts and integrate findings from these cohorts with publicly available biological / biomedical data.
