Postdoctoral Research Scientist
in Statistical Cancer Genomics
Wellcome Trust Centre for Human
Genetics, Roosevelt Drive, Headington, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,837 - £33,661 p.a.
Applications are invited for a
Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Statistical Cancer Genomics to join a newly
established research group headed by Dr Christopher Yau (http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~cyau/) based at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (WTCHG). The
research will focus on developing statistical methods for the analysis of whole
genome cancer sequencing data including modelling tumour heterogeneity and
integrative approaches for combining data from multiple sources.
The position would suit a
candidate who is interested in developing a career at the interface of
Statistics and the Biosciences. Ideally, you will have experience of
statistical methods development gained through a PhD (or equivalent) in a
quantitative subject (e.g.
Mathematics, Statistics, Physics,
Engineering or Computer Science).
Experience of Bayesian Statistics
or machine learning techniques is highly desirable as is evidence of prior
experience of developing bioinformatics software and/or analysing genetic data
sets.
You will be able to work as part
of a team and independently and deliver results to the required standard and
schedule. You should also possess the ability to organise and prioritise your
own work with minimal supervision and have excellent communication skills, both
written and oral. The post will involve interactions with collaborators from
Statistics and in Medicine and the Biological Sciences.
The post is fixed-term for 2
years in the first instance and funded by the Medical Research Council with
generous provisions for equipment and travel expenses.
Please quote reference 111540 on
all correspondence. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting
statement as part of your online application.
Only applications received before
12.00 midday on Thursday 13 February 2014 will be considered.
