  • Proactively enable research through the development of bespoke code, workflows, datasets, and/or guidelines.
  • Writing of documentation and instructional materials on accessing data and running analyses in the Trusted Research Environment.
  • Providing second line research support for researchers in querying genomic and clinical data and running bespoke analyses on demand.

Skills and Experience for Success

  • Strong background in human disease genetics, preferably in cancer or rare disease, demonstrated by publication record or industry track record.
  • Strong coding skills in scripting languages (Python/R).
  • Experience using statistical genetics tools, e.g. for association analysis, finemapping or colocalisation.
  • Demonstrable experience in working with whole genome/whole exome sequencing data at scale.
  • Experience writing pipelines in WDL or Nextflow
  • Proven ability to communicate with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds (e.g. management, IT, R&D, biology, bioinformatics) and a clear understanding of clinical and phenotypic data management and the sensitivities surrounding patient cohort data.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, keeping track of customer relationships, providing high calibre troubleshooting, identifying unmet customer needs and suggesting solutions to improve material.
  • Motivation to enable genetic discovery and connect genetic variation to human disease in close collaboration with likeminded colleagues.
  • Experience with the analysis of transcriptomics, proteomics or other omics a plus
