Hello
We are working on behalf of one of our clients and are trying to find a
Statistical Geneticist to work on a project for 18 months. You will be
working as an analyst to investigate large-scale genetic / epidemiological
studies in the fields of Neurological disease.
Our client has ongoing programs collecting large family and case / control
data and sample sets in common complex diseases through collaborations with
a worldwide network of leading physicians, and access to public and
propriety data sets. You will work in multi disciplinary teams of
physicians, scientists and bioinformatics experts on programs aimed
understanding disease phenotypes and epidemiology, and their underlying
genetic and environmental factors and understanding gene function in these
disease states.
Ideally you will have an MS or PhD in statistics, genetic epidemiology,
genetics or related field with experience in the analysis of complex disease
in humans. Experience of multivariate analysis including factor analysis,
structural equation modeling, other data mining methods would be preferable.
Familiarity with variance component analysis for both qualitative and
quantitative trait linkage analyses would also be an advantage. You should
have working experience of genetic analysis software and at least one
standard statistical package (e.g. SAS, Splus, STATA) and the ability to
handle large data sets and work independently.
As the ideal candidate you will have demonstrated an ability to manage
interdisciplinary projects and experience working in a team environment.

colleagues throughout R&D in the US and Europe.
