White City, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

**Dementia is the greatest health challenge of our century.**

To date there is no way to prevent it or even slow its progression, and there is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause it.

The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative driving forward research to fill this gap.

We are a globally leading multidisciplinary research institute of 700 staff investigating the spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders causing dementia, with laboratory-based research groups located at Imperial College London, University College London, the University of Cambridge, Cardiff University, Edinburgh University, and King’s College London.

The research group of Dr Alexi Nott in the UK DRI at Imperial College London is investigating the contribution of epigenetics in driving disease risk for ageing-related brain disorders.

**Duties and responsibilities**:

- Analysis and visualisation for large scale ‘omics datasets
- Lead computational projects exploring the transcriptome, epigenome and 3D chromatin architecture of brain cell types
- Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary research team
- Demonstrate an aptitude for an organised, methodical approach to your work

**Essential requirements**:

- **Research Assistant**: A Master’s degree or near completion of a PhD (or equivalent) in Computational Biology, Mathematics or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research or industrial experience
- **
Research Associate**: Hold a PhD (or equivalent) in Computational Biology, Mathematics or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research or industrial experience
- Strong programming skills in R, Python, or other coding languages (e.g., C++, Matlab)
- Experience within a High-Performance Computing environment

**Further information**:
The role is offered Full Time and Fixed Term, initially for 2 years with the potential for extension.

The post is based in the new UK DRI research labs on the White City Campus in West London.

You will benefit from an active research (and social) environment in the Department of Brain Sciences, with additional research labs in the Burlington Danes Building on the nearby Hammersmith Campus.

Imperial is one of the UK’s most international universities and welcomes staff from all backgrounds and from all over the world.
