2x Research Assistant or Research Associate positions are available in the group of Prof. Sadaf Farooqi at the Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge.
We are recruiting to two positions to significantly enhance our capabilities in computational biology within Professor Sadaf Farooqi's team who are internationally recognised as being at the forefront of research in obesity and rare disease with strong collaborative links with academic and industry partners globally.
Successful applicants will contribute to projects involving the analysis of human genetic, transcriptomic and metabolomic/proteomic data. These include the use of statistical approaches to analyse array, exome and genome sequencing data from a cohort of 8,000 children with severe obesity (www.goos.org.uk) and 3,000 people with persistent thinness (www.stilts.org.uk). The postholder will also work with other accessible genomics and transcriptomics datasets including UK Biobank and the Human Cell Atlas.
