About the RoleApplications are sought for an exciting opportunity within the Ciccarelli lab, within the Centre for Cancer Evolution, Barts Cancer Institute. We are seeking an independent, highly motivated computational Postdoctoral Research Assistant to lead on an established and successful research line aimed at understanding the genetic events that drive cancer evolution. We have a long-lasting interest to identify cancer drivers from genomic data using machine learning (Mourikis Nature Comms 2019, Nulsen Genome Medicine 2021), study their interplay the immune microenvironment (Misetic Genome Medicine 2023) and dissect their context -dependent role during cancer evolution (Ganguli, Nature Cancer, 2025). We also maintain a highly accessed resource of cancer genes () The post holder will have two main responsibilities. From one side, they will collaborate closely with wet lab scientists in our team and analyse mutational and transcriptomic data coming from experiments aimed to understand why particular mutations help or hamper tumour formation. From the other, they will be responsible to update and enlarge our repository of cancer genes.The Ciccarelli lab is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary and the ability to work in a team is essential.About YouThe successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD degree in biological or computational sciences or equivalent, with solid knowledge of computational coding applied to genomics.
