Statistics Postdoc

A 3 year Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available in statistical genetics. This position is an opportunity for an analytical individual with an interest or experience in biology to apply and develop their skills and interests. All biological behaviour relies on the expression of genes. Recent technologies mean we now have extensive DNA sequence, gene expression, as well as information about the conformation of chromatin surrounding genes. These data are available across a range of microbial, plant and animal species. The successful applicant would explore how these data interact and relate to phenotype. We seek an enthusiastic individual with a PhD in a quantitative field, e.g. statistics, mathematics or physics, good programming proficiency, some knowledge of genetics, and good written and spoken communication skills.
