Ad below. This is to do a mix of methodological development (probably Bayesian) and applied statistical analysis with respect to evidence synthesis in genetic association studies. We don't require previous knowledge of genetics (though obviously that would be an advantage), so this is a good opportunity to get into a very exciting area. If you have any questions about this job please get in touch with me.
