Particular challenges involve efficient signal processing, run-time automation, real-time control and critically, the encapsulation of all of these functions on a cost-effective embedded computing system.
REQUIREMENTS:
Successful candidates will have a proven track record in scientific instrument software or analysis pipeline development within a dynamic industrial environment. Skills may include but be limited to:
- Programming in C/C++, Perl Python, D, Erlang in a goal oriented way
- Agile software development practices
- UNIX and FPGA/GPU/SIMD programming
- Close and positive interactions with engineers
- Algorithm design and optimisation

RESPONSIBILITIES:
We are recruiting a Data Analyst to join our rapidly expanding informatics team, to participate in the development of our revolutionary DNA sequencing system. This role will involve analysis and interpretation of data sets derived during the development and optimisation of our DNA sequencing platform (and its derivatives).
REQUIREMENTS:
The candidate should be a highly numerate individual, with the ability to manage large data sets, apply a wide range of appropriate analyses, develop ad-hoc software tools and most importantly, the ability to communicate complex numerical and statistical issues across all functional domains within the entire development project.
Successful candidates will be qualified to postdoctoral level in a numerate discipline such as statistics, applied mathematics or physics. He/she will have a proven track record of supporting complex multi-disciplinary development projects within an industrial setting. Preference will be given to experience of product development or process development. Technical leadership skills, as well as proven team working, will also be valued.

BACKGROUND:
We are seeking Computational Biologists and Bioinformaticians to join our rapidly growing informatics team. Oxford Nanopore is developing a new generation of DNA sequencing technology and requires team members to participate in the evaluation and development of this platform. In a competitive environment, we seek candidates who respond well to aggressive deadlines and a dynamic working environment.
Opportunities also exist to develop new sequencing applications and also any appropriate analysis tools and algorithms. We already have a number of active collaborations with leaders in the fields of genetics and genomics and our bioinformatics capability would be at the forefront of these activities.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
We invite submissions for roles as programmers, software engineers, scientific data analysts and bioinformaticians. Ideal candidates will encompass areas including: R&D data analysis support, instrument system development, data management and exploitation of sequence data in the context of the latest scientific applications.
REQUIREMENTS:
Successful applicants will be qualified to at least postgraduate level in a highly numerate discipline. Positions will vary according to experience and background. Preference is given to applicants with a track record of project delivery in industrial environments and a demonstrable ability to work to timelines and milestones.
Technical skills may include, but not be limited to:
- Programming in Perl, Python, C/C++
- Knowledge of UNIX/Windows - strong skills in UNIX
- High degree of numeracy and knowledge of core algorithms and analysis techniques ranging from DNA sequencing to quantitative tag based counting applications (e.g. Gene expression)
- R, Matlab, Pipeline Pilot
- Methods in next-generation DNA sequencing, including whole-genome analyses and annotation
- High throughput analysis pipelines and workflows

RESPONSIBILITIES:
We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic individual to join our rapidly growing informatics team, to lead the development of the the software and computing subsystem of our revolutionary DNA sequencer. DNA sequencing is a highly competitive scientific and commercial environment. The candidate will be required to work to aggressive timelines within an agile development process.
REQUIREMENTS:
Successful candidates will have a background in developing embedded computing solutions for high-end DSP or related HPC devices. This includes instrument control and the evaluation and architecting of hardware/software and any relevant interfaces. The role requires close collaboration with hardware engineers on the total design and implementation of the sensor system(s).
We are looking for an individual who has led small teams of programmers on successful projects demanding data processing and real-time control devices or systems. Candidates will be experienced in leading projects including:
- Agile software development practices and a thorough knowledge of software design patterns and development methodologies
- Programming in C/C++ (and derivatives), Perl, Python, VHDL, Erlang
- Algorithm design and efficient implementation
- Embedded systems development
- Numerical methods and signal processing techniques
- MatLab, R and LabView
Candidates with a background in developing high performance sensing devices for biological applications (such as DNA sequencing, Mass Spectrometry etc) will be considered favourably.
