Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Statistical Genetics (up to 3 positions available)
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Roosevelt Drive, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7BN
Grade 8: £37,012 – £44,166 with a discretionary range to £48,246 per annum.

Applications where not all the set criteria are met will be considered, and if appointed, will be at the appropriate salary range of Grade 7: £29,249 to £35,938 per annum, with amended duties and responsibilities.

Applications are invited for up to three Postdoctoral Research Scientists in Statistical Genetics to join the research group of Prof Peter Donnelly FRS, the Centre Director.

You will work in one or more of the following areas, although there will not necessarily be one appointment in each area: 1) The development and application of statistical methods for genomic sequence data in health and disease, 2) Analysis of genomic sequence from bacterial isolates or 3) mammalian recombination.

You will have a PhD in statistics or quantitative genetics, or equivalent experience and either direct research experience and success in one of the three research areas outlined above, or an excellent working understanding of modern statistical methods and the potential to apply them within the statistical genetics context with the ability to lead and assist in the development of novel methods in that context. You will have the ability to handle and analyse short-read sequence data, and good computational skills and experience of low-level programming language such as C or C++. As you will be managing the day-to-day running of the research project, good organisation and communication skills are essential.

Applications are welcomed from candidates with very strong statistical backgrounds who have not yet worked in genetics but are enthusiastic about doing so, as well as from researchers already working in statistical genetics and related areas.
The positions are available for up to three years in the first instance and are funded by the Wellcome Trust.
