- Bulk RNA-seq
- Single-cell RNA-seq (required)
- Genotype/GWAS data analysis
- Spatial transcriptomics (preferred)
- Proteomics data (e.g., Olink preferred)
- Strong experience in statistical genetics and transcriptomics analysis
- Proficiency in R, Python, and Bash, with ability to develop reproducible and scalable workflows
- Experience working with high-performance computing (HPC) systems
- Hands-on experience with AWS cloud platforms (e.g., S3, IAM, and related services)
- Experience working with large-scale external genomic datasets
- Must have a strong publication record (to be included in resume)
- Must be willing to relocate at own expense if non-local and join as per project timelines
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct large-scale statistical genetics analyses to support target discovery and validation
- Perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using population-scale biobank datasets (e.g., UK Biobank, FinnGen, Our Future Health, and other consortium datasets)
- Develop, implement, and optimize scalable and reproducible computational pipelines for genomic data analysis
- Perform meta-analysis of genetic association datasets and integrate public and proprietary summary statistics
- Execute post-GWAS analyses including fine-mapping, colocalization, Mendelian Randomization, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), and polygenic risk scoring (PRS)
- Integrate and analyze multi-omics datasets such as bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, QTLs, and proteomics data for gene and target prioritization
- Contribute to data integration strategies linking genetics with functional genomics and molecular phenotypes
- Work closely with cross-functional teams including computational scientists, disease area experts, and wet-lab biologists
- Stay current with emerging methodologies in statistical genetics, computational biology, and AI/ML applications in genomics
- Contribute to the interpretation and communication of complex genetic findings to support drug discovery programs
Required Qualifications
- PhD (or equivalent) in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistical Genetics, Biostatistics, Genetic Epidemiology, or related quantitative field
