This is a disabling skin disorder that is poorly understood at the genetic level and difficult to treat in the clinic. The study, which is led by Dr Francesca Capon and Prof Catherine Smith, will seek to improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis by integrating whole-exome sequencing and RNA-seq experiments with in-vitro and ex-vivo assays. The post-holder will join a multidisciplinary team including basic scientists, data analysts and clinicians.

The successful candidate will have a PhD (or will shortly be assessed for a PhD - see note below) in a relevant discipline and will have solid expertise in next-generation sequencing data analysis. Previous experience with standard laboratory techniques would be an advantage. Applicants must hold a PhD in statistics, biological sciences, bioinformatics or genetics and be familiar with the investigation of large genetic datasets. Please note that this is a PhD level role but candidates who have recently submitted or passed their viva and are awaiting award of their PhDs will be considered. Should the successful candidate be awaiting the award of his or her PhD, the appointment will be made at Grade 5, point 30 (currently £32,004 per annum) with the title of Research Assistant until confirmation of the award of their PhD has been received.
