- Excellent coding skills in standard languages (e.g. R) with a focus on reproducibility and open-source publishing of code
- Experience of analysing large genetic datasets, e.g. UK Biobank or clinical studies
- Excellent attention to detail in communication, data management, and reporting results
- Strong interpersonal and written communication skills
- Experience of writing and publishing papers as first author
- Experience of collaborative research, supporting a wider team to achieve their goals
- Experience of analysis of UK Biobank on the Research Analysis Platform (RAP), or general skills in cloud computing using Jupyter notebooks and the use of Trusted Research Environments
