Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Genomics

2 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Economicsnetwork Full time

About the Role

We have an opportunity to join the Centre for Multi-omics, working with some of the world leaders in the genetic discovery of molecular traits, that underlay disease mechanisms.

We have unique multi-omic biosample repositories for research from consented patients, and available for longitudinal follow-up, from our culturally-diverse local East London populationand genomic datasets from continental Africa.

The successful candidate will deliver projects that leverage large-scale African genetic data to develop and apply existing and novel polygenic risk scores (PRS) methods for PRS computing in diverse and admixed populations. You will have opportunity to lead genomic studies that apply Genome-wide Association studies and Mendelian Randomisation methods.

About You

We seek a postdoctoral candidate to advance our research in molecular precision healthcare through the use of ethnically diverse biobank-scale DNA sequencing resources, including whole exome and whole genome sequencing. You will leverage the African Genome Resource to identify novel genetic associated and causal variants, compute polygenic risk scores, investigate the causal risk factors for a range of non-communicable diseases in global populations.

You will also have the opportunity to integrate omics research with other thematic foci for PHURI in our multi-disciplinary institute.

We are an ambitious, curious and enthusiastic international team, that promotes scientific excellence and career development in the context of happy family demands.

About the Institute

PHURI will unite world-leading expertise from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), nationally and internationally to drive research excellence and expedite impact. Our multidisciplinary teams will address research across four interconnected centres:

  • Health data and analytics;
  • Multiomics and single cell analyses;
  • MedTech and Devices
  • Therapeutic Innovation

These centres will come together to create a complete journey from disease identification, through the development of a therapy or intervention, to translation for patients in the clinic. This integrated approach is a distinguishing feature of PHURI.

PHURI builds on the close partnership between QMUL and Barts NHS Trust to ensure that our research is focused on where it’s needed most, using real-world clinical data to drive the development and targeted prescription of treatments based on patients’ needs. This will help to build a stronger health service for the people of East London, the UK and beyond.

About Queen Mary

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

Benefits

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professionaldevelopment opportunities. In addition, weoffer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.

Queen Mary’s commitment toour diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
