Post Doctoral Researcher in Genetic Dissection of Complex Traits.
There is a core funded post in the quantitative genetics and genomics group at the Roslin Institute.
We are looking for a quantitative geneticist wishing to move into functional genomics or someone with experience in functional genomics wishing to expand their expertise to quantitative genetics.
Empresa: Roslin Institute.
Fecha tope de presentación de estancias: 06-Feb-2013
Breve descripción:
A quantitative geneticists/bioinformatics/machine learning post is available within the Genetics and Genomics Group at the Roslin Institute (Dr Albert Tenesa's group)
The main aim of the project is to develop and apply new approaches for the analysis of genetic and genomics data. We aim to improve the dynamic aspects of functional genomics approaches by including the effect of genetic variation in the modelling.
The post holder must have a PhD in quantitative genetics, bioinformatics or related discipline (machine learning, statistics, statistical genetics, etc) or equivalent level of professional experience.
The ideal candidate will:
- Be someone with a PhD in functional genomics approaches that wishes to expand their expertise to quantitative genetics or someone with experience in quantitative genetics that wishes to expand their expertise to the field of functional genomics.
- Be proficient in statistical methodology, quantitative genetics and/or bioinformatics.
- Be a proficient programmer in languages appropriate for scientific computing (e.g. fortran, C, C++, Java, etc)
- Have experience in statistical inference.
- Have previous experience with high-throughput sequencing data.
- Have strong and sustained evidence of publishing their work in peer-reviewed journals.
This post is available on a fixed term basis for a period of 3 years.
