The post holder must hold a PhD and excellent knowledge of the genetics of OA and will be responsible for analysing, integrating and interpreting genomics and functional genomics datasets including Hi-C, CUT&RUN, ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq, among others, alongside the generation of polygenic risk scores and functional annotation of genetic risk variants.
