Job Description:
This is an excellent opportunity for a dynamic and experienced bioinformatician with skills and knowledge in statistical data analysis to contribute to a cutting-edge new project investigating the role of non-coding genetic elements in inherited heart disease. You will be responsible for leading computational analyses integrating genomic data from human and model systems. You will leverage aggregated datasets from the genome, cardiac transcriptome, translatome, and epigenome, to understand human disease and improve clinical genome interpretation. In addition, you will have the opportunity to contribute to other genomics research programs within the group. You will need to hold a PhD and have prior experience in both Bioinformatics and statistical data analysis. Ideally, you will have experience analysing high-throughput sequencing data and knowledge of human cardiovascular genetics. You will have scripting skills in R/Perl/Python and shell, and will have experience working in a high-performance computing environment. You will have the ability to work independently and have experience of project leadership. You will also be able to adapt quickly as part of a cross-disceplinary team in a rapidly changing environment.
