Research Associate in Statistical Methods for High-throughput DNA Sequencing in Cardiac Diseases, - Ref:1199977
UCL Genetics Institute
Salary (inclusive of London allowance) £31,905 - £38,594 per annum
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Statistical Methods for the analysis of DNA sequencing data, to work in the UCL Genetics Institute on a project funded by the British Heart Foundation. The project aims to use high-throughput sequencing to identify rare variants in coding DNA that significantly impact on susceptibility to cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death. It involves a cycle of evaluation of available methods and software, method development, implementation in software, and data analysis, in collaboration with researchers at the Royal Brompton Hospital, Imperial College London and the European Bioinformatics Institute at Hinxton, near Cambridge.
The project is initially funded for 2 years.
The successful applicant should have a PhD, or equivilent experience, in statistics, computer science, quantitative genetics or related field, be an effective programmer in a high-level language such as C or Java (experience with R would be an advantage). S/he should be able to work independently, and solve problems using determination and creativity. The successful candidate will also have experience in contributing to peer-reviewed publications and be a good communicator with collaborators and in scientific seminars and publications.
