Bioinformatics Analyst

Preferred start: Mid-Jan to Early-Feb 2026This is a hybrid role with minimum 4 days based at lab in White City, London (W12 7RZ)N.B. Salary range reflects appropriate experience and our desire to be open to many candidates. About Resurrect BioResurrect Bio is a VC-backed plant biotech start-up, discovering how to make crops resistant to disease using gene editing. We fix the immune system of crop species. We have a unique pipeline and platform for discovering resistance genes in crops which have been defeated by pathogens and pests. We then resurrect (restore) those resistance genes to make the crop resistant again, without introducing any new DNA to the crop.We’re focussed on delivering for the world’s farmers a better way to protect their plants, using the crop's own immune system instead of spraying chemicals. This will enable them to increase food production, reduce land for agriculture and help mitigate climate change.In December 2021, Resurrect Bio was spun out of the top institute for molecular plant microbe interactions, The Sainsbury Lab, Norwich. Since then, we have attracted financial support from several renowned VCs, as well as UK Government grant funding.What We OfferSalary based on experienceShare options in Resurrect Bio10% annual bonus on your base salary, when the company hits milestones34 days of annual leave, including bank holidaysPension planPrivate medical insurance35 hours pw, Monday - Friday Role & ResponsibilitiesAs a Bioinformatician at Resurrect Bio, you’ll support and work closely with the lead Computational Biologist to carry out:Processing genomic/transcriptomic/proteomic data for use in our candidate search pipelinesIn-silico protein-protein interaction screening using our proprietary protein folding AI technology, FloraFoldWork closely with the wet-lab team to prepare target sequences for cloningLiquid handling automation (BioMek/Analytica Jena)Opportunities And What We ProvideTraining in bioinformatics and molecular biologyLearn a variety of bioinformatics skills & cutting-edge plant biotechnologyContribute towards ground breaking discovery research with real-world impact on the life of farmers across the worldOpportunity to contribute to grant writingNetworking via conference attendanceTailored personal growth opportunitiesA nurturing, collaborative and high performance work environmentPrivate health insuranceQualifications/ExperienceAn undergraduate degree or master’s (preferred) in Genetics, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics or related fieldExperience working within academia or biotech with an emphasis on data processing in command line environmentsEssential SkillsProficiency in programming languages such as R and/or PythonFamiliarity and competence within the UNIX environment and the use of CLI toolsDesirable SkillsProficiency within workflow management tools like nextflowExperience with version control and containerisation tools (e.g., GitHub, Docker, etc)Experience running analyses in an HPC or cloud environments (we use GCP), including launching instances/jobs, managing storage, and transferring dataKnowledge or an interest in plant immunity (nice to have!)Application processThis role uses blind recruitment practices to reduce unconscious bias in our hiring process.
