Neo4j Developer

Description:

As a research organisation, the UK DRI is increasingly generating data that would benefit from in-house services that allow the researchers an easy and reliable mechanism for viewing and analysing the data. This is an opportunity for an enthusiastic Neo4J developer who would like to tackle dementia by participating in and contributing to scientific collaborative projects involving UK DRI researchers and our partners.

We intend to provide an open-source graph network-based framework that allows data integration in a multi-omics context which is easily accessible to users.

Your role will be to set up an internal web portal where existing data sets are integrated and visualised along with disparate data sets. Following successful deployment, you would move ahead with building a public portal that will be regularly updated with data releases, and there will be scope to expand the functionality of the system to incorporate additional data types and modalities.

The post is available immediately and funded by the UK DRI until 31 March 2028 in the first instance.

This role is eligible for hybrid working with a minimum of 20% of time on site.

If you need reasonable adjustments or a more accessible format to apply for this job online, or have any queries regarding the application process, please contact the Institute of Neurology HR Team (ion.hradmin@ucl.ac.uk).
