Early-stage Biotech | 4 or 5 day week
We’re working with a highly innovative, early-stage biotech company based in Edinburgh, building a computational biology capability at the core of its scientific and commercial delivery.
This is a hands-on role for a Bioinformatician who wants to develop quickly in a genuinely high-impact environment.
You’ll work closely with an experienced Head of Bioinformatics and a multidisciplinary science team, contributing to both client-facing projects and internal research.
What you’ll be doing:
- Analysing NGS and omics datasets across multiple projects
- Supporting and developing data pipelines (Nextflow/Snakemake)
- Working with cloud-based and Linux environments
- Contributing to research workflows alongside scientists and ML engineers
- Translating complex outputs into clear, usable insights
What we’re looking for:
- MSc / PhD Bioinformatics / Computational Biology (or similar)
- Experience with Python and/or R
- Exposure to NGS data (alignment, QC, region-based analysis)
- Familiarity with workflow tools (Nextflow, Snakemake)
- Strong communication skills and curiosity
Nice to have:
- Experience with regulatory genomics data
- Exposure to machine learning workflows
- Industry or academic research experience
Why this role:
- Work at the intersection of data, biology, and real-world application
- Close mentorship and rapid development
- High ownership from day one
- 10% dedicated learning time
- Genuine flexibility (4 or 5 day week)
If you’re looking for a role where you’ll learn fast and contribute meaningfully, this is worth a conversation.
