    • Educated at degree level in a relevant discipline (Statistical Genetics, Bioinformatics, Data Analysis) – either PhD or MSc and several years' work experience
    • Evidence of experience in data analysis and genomics research using large genomics datasets of NGS data alongside clinical data. This could be any involvement in GWAS, cohort studies, population genetics, etc.
    • Demonstrated knowledge and competence in Python and preferably R for statistical analysis as well as experience with statistical methodologies
    • Experience of working in a knowledge sharing environment

    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 now also have new modern offices.
