Together with two other PDRAs, the researcher will: Carry out GWAS analyses to identify mQTLs that are unique/shared between blood and saliva, Develop the first large-scale epigenetic clocks and lifestyle/environmental (e.g., pollution, vaping, alcohol consumption) DNAm signatures based on saliva biosamples, Integrate the DNAm datasets with longitudinal eHealth records to build epigenetic signatures of healthy ageing, which we will then track longitudinally in parallel with other hallmarks of ageing using six waves of phenotype and DNAm data from the Lothian Birth Cohort of 1936. The post is full-time (35 hours per week) and will be office-based for a minimum of 3 days a week. Part-time or remote working arrangements are not possible.
