This 4-year post is funded by a grant from the Methodology Research
Programme of the Medical Research Council and the National Institute for
Health Research. The goal of the project is to develop better statistical
methods to improve the feasibility and effectiveness of pharmacogenetics.
The focus will be on the development of Bayesian methods, particularly for
prediction of outcomes and for meta-analyses, for the analysis of
multivariate phenotype data, and for allowing for the effects of population
structure and cryptic relatedness. These methods will be applied to several
internationally important pharmacogenetic datasets, including
genome-wide-genotyped prospective cohorts of drug response in epilepsy and
Parkinson’s disease. The postholder will be expected to work closely with
our clinical collaborators to develop novel statistical methods using
genetic markers and available covariate data, and to implement them in
efficient and user-friendly software for use in clinical practice. The
project offers an opportunity to make an important contribution to a
fast-developing and important field of genomic research.
Applications are welcome from candidates with research expertise in modern
statistical and computational methods used for genetics data. The successful
applicant will be able to program effectively in a high-level language such
as C or Java. A PhD in a relevant subject is essential.
