The CRUK Scotland Institute is a cancer research institute, situated in Glasgow with approximately 250 researchers split across 30 research groups consisting of PIs, postdoctoral scientists, PhD students and scientific officers. It is one of Europe's leading cancer research centres, supporting cutting-edge work into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. As well as core support from Cancer Research UK, the Institute also receives an additional third of its total income from external grants and industry collaborations. It has an excellent reputation for fundamental cancer research, including world-class metabolism studies and renowned in vivo modelling of tumour growth and metastasis. Position outline The MRC National Mouse Genetics Network (NMGN) is a recent major new investment to support the enhancement of mouse research and its alignment with human clinical studies across a range of human diseases. The NMGN programme requires a scalable data sharing platform focused on the scientific priorities of the network. The data platform and outward facing data portal will support the capture, sharing and reuse of datasets generated by > 70 research groups across the NMGN. The platform is being delivered by a Data Science Team working in collaboration across the UK data management community. A RSE position is available within this team. All posts will involve collaborating widely across the UK preclinical modelling and data management communities, and will entail working in tandem with a software engineering and data management team based at the Mary Lyon Centre in Oxford. Successful applicants will join an established highly collaborative and interdisciplinary team of software engineers, data scientists, biologists and mathematicians, and will relish bringing these skills to bear in a highly dynamic and collaborative environment.
