    BACKGROUND

    100,000 Genomes Project – 12-month contract – Central London

    Paramount are working in partnership with Genomics England to expand their team in order to deliver success with the 100,000 Genomes Project. This is a challenging and fast moving project with the aim to carry out whole genome sequencing on 100,000 participants.
    Currently their Bioinformatics team are looking for a Rare Disease Analyst to join them for a fixed-term 12-month contract. This role would be ideal for someone with a Bioinformatics background, and some coding experience (preferably Python) within rare diseases.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Your main responsibilities as a Rare Disease Analyst will involve applying computational and statistical methods to analyse large datasets using:
    • Whole exome/genome sequencing
    • Association testing
    • Rare variant association analysis
    • Burden testing
    • Benchmarking genome analysis pipelines

    REQUIREMENTS

    The ideal Rare Disease Analyst will fulfil the following criteria:
    • Postdoc with at least 2-3 years' experience of working within Rare Diseases and Bioinformatics/Computational Biology and Systems Biology
    • Deep knowledge of association testing and genomics/rare diseases
    • Good programming skills in Python and preferably R, bash or another programming language

    COMPENSATION

    In return you will receive a competitive salary and the opportunity to make a real difference and contribute to the project at its most exciting phase. Due to growth they also have new modern offices.

    ABOUT US

    Genomics England works with key partners to collect, transport, store, quality check and sequence the samples from participants. They are working with the NHS to launch the world's first Genomic Medicine Service. Patients will have access to personalised treatment when there was no option for them before.
