Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

Oxford Population Health (the Nuffield Department of Population Health) provides an excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching and for professional and support staff. We work together to answer some of the most important questions about the causes, prevention and treatment of disease.

We are seeking a Research Assistant who will be working in the Complex Trait Genomics Group, reporting to Professor Peter Visscher. The nature of the research in the Visscher group is analysis of large-scale genome-wide data sets (millions of genomic variants on millions of people) of DNA variants to address fundamental questions about the causes and consequences of human trait variation. You will conduct analyses of large-scale data sets under supervision of a postdoctoral researcher or the Group Leader as well as researching activities independently.

In additional to the research support role, you will also will take a leading role to administer, curate and supervise access and use of datasets.

To be considered, you must hold a relevant Master’s degree and research experience. You will have the ability to manage own research and administrative activities and have excellent communication skills, including the ability to write text that can be published, present data at conferences, and represent the research group at meetings.

This is a full time, fixed term post (part time considered) for 2 years.
