p.s. Open Targets and the EMBL-EBI are located at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, a village in the beautiful countryside just outside Cambridge, UK. The remuneration package for both positions comprises a competitive salary, a comprehensive pension scheme and health insurance, educational and other family related benefits where applicable, as well as financial support for relocation and installation from overseas.
@Denise can you add location in the title? I assume it is Cambridge, UK.
Done. More precisely Hinxton, outside Cambridge UK.
