Biostatistician - Ref: 1638067 - Closing Date of vacancy: 30 April 2017

                   

The Institute of Cancer Research, one of the world’s most influential cancer research organisations, is looking for a biostatistician to join the newly formed Genomic Analysis Team led by Dr. Maggie Cheang at the Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit (ICR-CTSU). The ICR-CTSU Genomic Analysis Team is focused on using integration of multi-omics data, molecular classification of tumours, development of genomics assays for disease risk prediction and identification of clinically relevant biomarkers as intermediate endpoints in clinical trials.

 

Your work will focus on supporting the identification of intermediate biomarker endpoints and de novo biomarker signatures for drug sensitivities. An important component of the role will be using tools and software packages that enable reproducible research and develop statistical methods for efficient data analysis. You will assume a key position performing statistical modelling/analysis of in-house (as well as publicly available) next generation sequencing datasets such as Exome, Targeted and Whole genome sequencing, and RNA sequencing datasets, and correlating the results to patients outcome.

 

In addition to a first degree in a subject with strong statistical/mathematical components, the successful applicant will hold a post-graduate qualification in bioinformatics, statistics, computer science, engineering or mathematics. Your analytical experience will enable you to perform integrated analysis and visualisation of multi-omic datasets. You will also have gained significant experience in bioinformatics role/s, data analysis and related statistical methodologies, have undertaken training and have an interest in clinical trials, genomics or related fields.
