EMBL is a nonprofit intergovernmental research institute operating across six European locations with deep computational infrastructure needs: Linux, Python, R, SLURM, and SAP SuccessFactors for HR. Active hiring across research, data, and support roles reflects a shift toward standardizing data workflows and integrating multimodal datasets across sites—a recognition that decentralized labs need unified infrastructure to scale discovery.
EMBL is Europe's flagship laboratory for molecular biology, founded in 1974 as an intergovernmental organization. It runs over 80 independent research groups across six sites: Heidelberg, Barcelona, Hamburg, Grenoble, Rome, and Hinxton (EMBL-EBI). Core activities include basic research in molecular and cell biology, training scientists and students at all levels, developing new research instruments and methods, and providing services and infrastructure to member-state researchers. The organization employs between 1,001 and 5,000 staff and operates as a tax-exempt employer offering competitive salaries, relocation support, and professional development.
Linux, Python, bash, R, SLURM, Vue, Angular, Proxmox, NetApp, SAP SuccessFactors, and Workday. Authentication runs on LDAP, OIDC, and SAML; automation uses Ansible.
Molecular and cell biology, genome and transcriptome assembly, single-cell genomics (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq), and planarian species studies. Also develops computational workflows and standardizes data pipelines across multiple research sites.
