the host research group, led by dr beate st pourcain, investigates the genetic basis of social communication, language and interaction in large population-based cohorts.

job description

the successful applicant will engage in genome-wide analyses of social behaviour and its links with personality traits and other phenotypes by studying large genome-wide and omics data from international cohorts and consortia. statistical analyses will involve, for example, mendelian randomisation-based approaches and structural equation modelling techniques applied to genetic, epigenetic and/or expression data, in addition to standard genome-wide association studies. there will also be opportunities to engage in r package development.

requirements

the successful applicant will hold, or shortly expect to obtain an msc or ma qualification in statistical genomics, genetic epidemiology, medical statistics, computing or a related quantitative discipline. applicants should have a strong computational background with knowledge of shell, r, and python, perl or another programming language. familiarity with approaches for integrating biological information from a wide range of (publicly available) data resources is desirable.
