Oxford Nanopore Technologies: Our goal is to bring the widest benefits to society through enabling the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere. The company has developed a new generation of nanopore-based sensing technology for faster, information rich, accessible and affordable molecular analysis.
The first application is DNA/RNA sequencing, and the technology is in development for the analysis of other types of molecules including proteins. The technology is used to understand and characterise the biology of humans and diseases such as cancer, plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, and whole environments.
With a thriving culture of ambition and strong innovation goals, Oxford Nanopore is a UK headquartered company with global operations and customers in more than 125 countries.
Our “Applications Tool Developmentâ€� team is looking for a passionate and skilled Bioinformatics Software Developer to help us build new generation of computational methods to capitalize on Nanopore’s unique features and the latest platform improvements.
We expect the candidate to have strong programming and software design skills, with a proven track record in practical software development. Experience with analysis of sequencing data and proficiency with standard genomics tools will be a major plus.
