Senior Research Associate (Senior Statistical Geneticist)
Applications are invited for a Senior Statistical Geneticist to join the Genomics and Bioinformatics Core (GBC) within the Institute of Metabolic Science ¿ Metabolic Research Laboratories at the Clinical School, University of Cambridge.
The GBC provides analytical and data management support to research groups within the Metabolic Research Laboratories (MRL) and covers aspects of genomics such as genome sequencing and single-cell approaches, in addition to broader data integration efforts across multiple types of 'omics data. This specific role provides analytical expertise in the design, implementation and interpretation of projects utilising human genetics data.
The role holder will use their substantial computational background and experience of using statistical genetics approaches to analyse whole exome/genome sequence data in both clinical genetic studies and/or large-scale population studies, such as the UK Biobank. The ability to think creatively and flexibly in bridging the analyses of common and rare genetic variation together with gene expression data across species would be hugely advantageous.
Applicants must have a PhD in genetic epidemiology, statistical genetics, computational biology, bioinformatics, or closely related fields.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 March 2030 in the first instance.
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a basic disclosure (criminal records check) check, a health assessment and a security check.
