Job Description
A particularly exciting technological frontier is the intelligent integration of imaging data with omics data and EMBL is an active innovator in this area. As part of the newly launched Data Science Centre we seek to recruit a dynamic and skilled data scientist for shaping integrated imaging and -omics data workflows and advancing data FAIRification platforms and practices.
Your role
The successful candidate will work closely with research and service groups at all EMBL sites to contribute to the development of a local and pan-EMBL solution for integrated image and omics analysis including management workflows and core training. While the position is based at EMBL Barcelona you will be a fully integrated member of the EMBL Data Science Centre working across its European sites. Occasional travel to other EMBL sites is necessary.
Your duties will include:
- Supporting the implementation and development ofboth local and pan-EMBL pipelines for managing processing and utilizing imaging data.
- Developing platforms for integrating imaging with -omics data (such as spatial omics).
- Ensuring that FAIR (Findable Accessible Interoperable and Reusable) principles are embedded in our data handling processes.
- Contributing to onboarding and training of research staff to support their data management and analysis needs.
- Facilitating communication and seamless data flow between EMBL and non-EMBL scientists and imaging and genomics platforms.
- Continually exploring new methods pipelines and technologies to implement across EMBL initiatives within the image analysis field
You have
We seek a team player with relevant scientific and technical expertise ready to learn and take responsibility for facilitating data science initiatives and research workflows. The ideal candidate would have a degree in a relevant discipline with multiple years of experience in image analysis bioinformatics and data management and enjoy collaborative interactions across research areas. Specifically we seek candidates with:
- Experience building and executing workflows that may include imaging data from multiple modalities: brightfield fluorescence (widefield confocal SPIM) electron microscopy x-ray CT.
- A strong interest and potentially prior experience in handling spatial-omics data.
- Excellent command of Python R and/or Julia along with standard open source image analysis platforms such as FIJI BigDataViewer Napari.
- Strong abilities in cross-disciplinary collaboration communication and training.
- The successful candidate is a motivated self-starter with a proven ability to work within a multidisciplinary team environment and with excellent communication and organizational skills. A high standard of written and spoken English is mandatory.
You might also have
An existing understanding of omics/genomics data from a computational viewpoint. An interest in facilitating core training for -imaging and -omics data science will be an asset as would experience with databases and public repositories for imaging data and an understanding of image data formats metadata standards and FAIR principles. A double or interdisciplinary background in computational science and imaging modalities for biological samples would be considered a plus as would experience working with -omics data.
