  • Understanding of principles of genetic epidemiology
  • Association analysis with array- and sequence-based genetic data
  • Analysis of sequence-based molecular assay data (eg RNA-Seq) including differential expression methods, single-cell sequencing data (eg scRNA-Seq, scATAC-Seq) and/or proteomic data
  • Integration of genetic and molecular data for multimodal analyses
  • Fluent in R, python, and shell scripting. Some familiarity with C++ will be a plus.
  • Experience working with git and high performance computing (e.g. the slurm scheduling manager).
  • Ability to produce high-quality analysis results with minimal supervision. This includes meeting key deadlines and making sensible independent decisions.
