What you can expect
1. Advancement of the groups research strategy for molecular precision healthcare through the use of ethnically diverse biobank-scale DNA sequencing resources, including whole exome and whole genome sequencing, in agreement with the leadership team
2. Development of the research group, supervision, development and management of junior staff and students
3. Developing bioinformatic workflows that integrate population-scale genomics research with data from single cell experiments, to identify disease relevant cell types and states
4. Mining of electronic health records to sample patient cohorts for genetic analysis
5. Implementation and development statistical techniques to associate rare and structural variation in the human genome with health outcomes at scale, including the use of deep learning derived variant prioritisation methods
6. Using genetically anchored causal inference methods to advance understanding of the genetic causes and mechanisms underlying diverse diseases and their subtypes in ethnically diverse populations
What you bring along
7. PhD in genomics, statistical genomics, genetic epidemiology or a closely related discipline
8. Stage-appropriate track-record of high-impact research and publications in the field of genomics, multiomics, and/or single call analysis
