Ruby on Rails Developer / Bioinformatician – One Year Contract - London – UK
Manage the development of a web based database for Discovery Informatics!
Join a world-leading centre of excellence, and the major centre in the UK, for research on infectious diseases in their specialist area in addition to being one of eight research institutes sponsored by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and private International Research centres around the world.
They are focused on understanding the intimate interactions between pathogens and their hosts, with a view to developing improved strategies to control, prevent or limit infections. Linked to this goal will be practical advances in the rapid and accurate diagnosis of infections, differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals, improvement in current vaccines, development of new control methods, expansion of surveillance and reference laboratory capacities, and the further development and improvement of epidemiology and modelling capabilities. The remit of this project includes infectious disease surveillance, providing specialist and reference microbiology and microbial epidemiology, co-ordinating the investigation and cause of national and uncommon outbreaks, helping advise government on the risks posed by various infections and responding to international health alerts. The current swine influenza situation has generated the requirement for a Rails Developer to work with ‘in house’ bioinformaticians to generate a web-based resource for the accumulation and analysis of swine influenza gene sequences with linked clinical and epidemiological information.
