Our scientific teams have developed significant expertise and have established close working relationships with our clinical colleagues to ensure that our patients benefit from the information generated by WGS. To be able to grow the service and enable prompt adoption of testing in newly-eligible tumour types, we are now looking for a Clinical Scientists to join our team dedicated to the WGS service.
The main focus of the role will be the analysis and interpretation of WGS data for cancer patients (solid and haematological malignancies in both paediatric and adult patients) and presentation of the findings to scientists, clinicians, clinical geneticists and genetic counsellors at our regular Genomic Tumour Advisory Boards (GTABs). Working across the North-Thames GLH, WGS-scientists will interact with scientific and clinical colleagues from the GLH as well as the partner laboratories and referring hospitals to support a pan-GLH service.
An understanding of and proficiency in variant classification for somatic and/or germline findings according to published guidelines is required and experience in analysis of complex genetic data, e.g. from WGS (including the 100K project), would be an advantage.
We welcome applications from registered clinical scientist working in cancergenomics or genetics with an interest in acquired diseases.
It is anticipated thatinterviews will be held week commencing 24th June.
