Job Description

About Us:Tree of Life is a relatively young Programme at the Sanger Institute, established to develop and deliver platforms that will transform our understanding of the natural world through high-volume, high-quality biodiversity genomics. Working in collaboration with partners worldwide, Tree of Life aims to lead the way in both quality and quantity of new genome sequencing, and in the timely and effective analysis of these data. The Programme’s science is based on delivery at scale of data that will support conservation and management science, biotechnological innovation and basic biological understanding of all life on this planet. The Programme has a growing portfolio of core- and externally-funded major projects.The team is currently building and maintaining bespoke software to support the larger projects in ToL, as well as onboarding internal faculty projects.To provide the technology infrastructure in support of such ambitious initiatives we have launched the Samples Tracking Systemisation (STS) Project.

  2. Support sequence data submission and metadata brokering with genome repositories;
  3. Track the status of every ToL sample at any stage of the pipeline providing information in real time;
  4. Manage multiple identifiers for each sample and track relationships between daughter’ samples;
  5. Link samples and their metadata to QC information (e.g. DNA extraction yield);
  6. Automate decision making and processing based on metadata wherever possible;
  7. Enable clear reporting of pipeline and project metrics;
  8. Provide easy access to ToL data and pipeline metrics for partners.
About the Role:This role will be responsible for testing and QA of the STS system in partnership with third party collaborators and an offshore development team with the end goal of bringing ownership of its development and maintenance to the internal team.
