details below.

Best Wishes,
Peter


Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Statistical Functional Genomics
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Roosevelt Drive, Headington,
Oxford
Grade 7: Ł29,541 - Ł36,298 with a discretionary range to Ł39,649 p.a.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in
Statistical Functional Genomics at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human
Genetics in the University of Oxford.

You will play a key role in a substantial research programme led by Dr
Julian Knight aiming to use functional genomic approaches to define genetic
variants responsible for observed genetic associations with susceptibility
to autoimmune disease, in particular inflammatory arthritis. You will have
significant skills in bioinformatics and statistical genetics to enable the
analysis of large complex datasets arising from high-density genotyping,
DNA sequencing and functional genomic profiling. This will include data
arising from use of high throughput sequencing for transcript
quantification (RNA-seq) and chromatin profiling (ChIP-seq),
allele-specific and expression quantitative trait mapping, analysis of
epigenetic modifications, noncoding RNAs, and alternative splicing and DNA
methylation.

You will have a PhD in Statistical Genetics, Statistics, Bioinformatics,
Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or a related discipline and have
research experience in statistical genetics and/or bioinformatics.
Proficiency in the use of statistical programming language R/BioConductor
and scripting languages Python/Perl is essential. You will need strong
organisational skills and the ability to communicate effectively and
efficiently to deliver results as well as the ability to work well within a
team.

The position is available fixed-term for up to 3 years in the first
instance and will be funded by the Wellcome Trust.
