UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST IN STATISTICAL CANCER GENOMICS
WELLCOME TRUST CENTRE FOR HUMAN GENETICS, ROOSEVELT DRIVE, HEADINGTON,
OXFORD, OX3 7BN
Grade 7: £30,434 – £33,242 p.a. pro rata
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in
Computational Cancer Genomics within the Genomic Medicine group (Dr
Christopher Yau) at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics. The
purpose of the roles is to develop and deliver integrative approaches
to dissect the complexity of cancer as a genomic disease. The research
will focus on development and application of effective strategies for
mining and integration of complex human *omics datasets and
clinical/phenotypic data in cancer studies.
The role sits at the critical interface between genetics and cancer
systems biology, and would suit a candidate who is interested in
developing a career at the confluence of Statistics/Data
Mining/Machine Learning and Biology. Ideally, you will have experience
in development of analytical approaches to high-throughput and
multivariate data mining and integration gained through a PhD (or
equivalent) in a quantitative subject (eg mathematics, statistics,
physics, engineering or computer science).
Experience of statistics and/or machine learning techniques is highly
desirable as is evidence of prior experience of developing
bioinformatics software and/or analysing complex *omics 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 be able to
organise and prioritise your own work, as well as have excellent
communication skills, both written and oral. The post will involve
interactions with collaborators from such diverse fields as applied
mathematics, statistics, computer science and medicine.
This position is fixed term until 31st August 2017 in the first
instance and funded by the Medical Research Council.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. To apply for this
