Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Single Cell Genomics
Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Roosevelt Drive, Headington, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,837 - £36,661 with a discretionary range to £40,046 p.a.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in
Single Cell Genomics to join a newly established Applied Statistical
Genomics research group headed by Dr Christopher Yau based at the
Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics. The research will focus on
the development of novel statistical methodology for the analysis of
large-scale single cell genomics data and offers an opportunity to be
at the analytical forefront of institutional expansion in this area.
The work will be supported by an Oxford-Stanford Big Data in Human
Health Seed Grant.
The position would suit a candidate who is interested in developing a
career at the interface of Statistics and the Biosciences. Ideally,
you will have experience of statistical methods development gained
through a recently obtained (or soon to be) PhD (or equivalent) in a
quantitative subject (e.g. mathematics, statistics, physics,
engineering or computer science). Experience of Bayesian Statistics
and machine learning techniques is highly desirable as is evidence of
prior experience of developing bioinformatics software and/or
analysing genomic data sets.
You will be able to work as part of a team and independently and
deliver results to the required standard and schedule. You should also
possess the ability to organise and prioritise your own work with
minimal supervision and have excellent communication skills, both
written and oral. The post will involve interactions with
collaborators from across multiple scientific areas.
The post is fixed-term for 2 years in the first instance and funded by
the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund.
Please quote reference 112695 on all correspondence. You will be
required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your
online application.
Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Wednesday 7 May 2014
will be considered.
