The Prendergast group at the Roslin Institute is looking for a Bioinformatics research fellow to join our team to study the genetic control of livestock gene regulation.
The opportunity:
Using various forms of omics data they will train machine learning models to predict regulatory states in mammalian genomes and use these models to gain insights into how genetic variants impact livestock phenotypes. The researcher will benefit from being part of a wider group of bioinformaticians and will be provided with a range of relevant resources, from unique omics datasets to high performance computing infrastructure.
The position will be on grade 7 (£35,333-42,155) and is available initially for 36 months. Informal enquiries can be directed to Dr. James Prendergast (james.prendergast@roslin.ed.ac.uk).
