We are looking for an exceptional quantitative researcher to join an established team of 12 computational and statistical researchers working in bioinformatics, statistical genomics and genetics. The team is based in the laboratory of Prof Willem H Ouwehand, which comprises over 60 research staff dedicated to understanding the formation of blood, and platelets in particular, in health and disease.
The post holder will primarily investigate the genetic basis for variation in blood related traits using computational and statistical techniques. He or she will use cutting edge multivariate statistical methods to integrate measurements on the extensive set of haematological variables. The project will involve genetic association analyses and analysis of functional genomics datasets.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in statistical genetics or a closely related field and must have training to PhD level in statistical genetics or another quantitative discipline such as physics, computer science, biostatistics or applied mathematics. Excellent scientific and statistical computing skills including experience with UNIX environments are highly desirable. The ability to work independently while collaborating and contributing to the team and group is critical.
Please quote reference RB02853 on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy.
