Job Description:
3 Postdoctoral positions are available at UCT: Population Genetics and GWAS: Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics to conduct research on population genetics and Genome Wide Association Studies. The successful candidate will have skills in Bioinformatics, with specific experience in population genetics and biostatistics. Postdoctoral fellowship in Big Data Analytics and mobile health: Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics to support the large-scale evaluation of two mobile health programs in India. This project is a collaboration with Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and Oxford Policy Management. The successful candidate will have skills in Bioinformatics, with specific experience in machine learning and analyses of large datasets. Genetic Epidemiology: Postdoctoral Researcher to work on development of resources and analyses within the H3ABioNet consortium (www.h3abionet.org). The focus of this postdoctoral position is to explore and develop appropriate statistical and modelling methodologies for genetic epidemiology research. This includes integrating large-scale genotype and other genome-wide datasets with comprehensive clinical and environmental data, and to examine causal associations of exposures with disease outcomes. We are interested in candidates with a strong interest and background in the development of appropriate statistical models for such data. Qualifications: Successful applicants must hold post-graduate qualifications in a closely related field such as statistics, biostatistics, mathematics, computational biology/bioinformatics or epidemiology; and must have obtained a Ph D degree in a related field. Emphasis will also be placed on personal aptitude. It is important that applicants have good collaborative skills, and have the ability to work across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Only individuals who have achieved the doctoral degree within the past 5 years are eligible to apply.
