The Sanger Institute, based south of Cambridge, is one of the world's leading medical research centers funded primarily by the Wellcome Trust. It has built on its success with the major sequencing projects - human, zebrafish, mouse, pig - to now look at the role of genetics in health and disease.
To help in this quest the Institute has established large scale experimental pipelines for DNA analysis as part of an extensive scientific infrastructure: including Sequencing, Genotyping, Sample Management, large scale PCR and others which support and drive significant numbers of projects both internally and externally.

The team managers will be expected to coordinate, manage and shape the operation of current and future DNA pipelines, each focusing on one area. They will foster a culture of tight portfolio and project management to ensure the delivery of high quality DNA based data in a timely manner under rigorous financial control. They will manage day to day delivery to customers including taking the lead on evaluating the pipeline operations and implementing changes to processes and structures to maximise efficiency and effectiveness.
