UCL Institute of Neurology (2012 - 2015)
Exome Sequencing in Neurodegenerative Disorders – Academic Post-doc
Applications are invited for a Research Associate within the Department of Molecular Neuroscience under the supervision of Professor Henry Houlden ([email protected]) and Professor John Hardy ([email protected]) for the study entitled “Exome Sequencing in Neurodegenerative Disorders”.
The post holder will be responsible for the tracking, processing, analysis and storage of exome sequencing-based data produced from the neurogenetics laboratories HiSeq and MiSeq sequencers. He/she will also contribute to the development of meta-analysis pipelines and the exome sequencing projects based on large patient cohorts with ataxia, MSA and neuromuscular disorders. They will be expected to write high impact publications developed from these patient and neuropathology series and they will benefit from the support of a technician in the development and analysis of exome data.
Applicants should have a PhD in biology or computer science and prior experience with the research and analysis of exome genomics data. Experience in the identification of genetic variants associated with disease and the downstream analysis of this data is essential.
The post is available from August 2012 and is funded to January 2015 by an MRC grant. It will be offered subject to satisfactory references, health clearance by the Occupational Health Department and satisfactory completion of a probationary period of nine months.
Starting salary on UCL Grade 7 in the range £31,778 - £35,826 per annum including London Allowance.
