Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit

We are currently seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher in biomedical data science to join our team at the Cambridge Baker Systems Genomics Initiative (CBSGI) and Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit (CEU) at the Department of Public Health and Primary Care (DPHPC). The post would suit a naturally collaborative and self-motivated researcher interested in studying cardiometabolic diseases and their commonly occurring comorbidities by applying their skills to analyse large-scale genomic and phenotypic/health-record data in the CEU's broad portfolio of genetic and multi-omic data from different cohorts.

The primary role of the post-holder will be to lead projects involving the quantitative analysis and interpretation of genomic and phenotypic data using polygenic scores, GWAS, Mendelian randomisation, and other statistical and machine-learning techniques. The successful candidate will have research interests aligned with those of CBSGI and CEU. They will have the freedom to develop new research ideas, in particular by leading/contributing to new grant or fellowship applications.
