A postdoc position in regulatory genomics is available in the Genomic Programming of Beta Cells lab of Imperial College London at the Hammersmith campus in London.
You will work in an exciting research project to decipher the role of genomic regulatory variation in human diabetes. The host lab has recently created regulatory maps of the embryonic and adult pancreas, leading to the discovery that defects in such elements can result in human diabetes (Weedon et al, Nature Genetics 2014, Pasquali et al, Nature Genetics 2014). This has led to new opportunities to exploit computational genomic approaches to understand how regulatory variation can cause human disease.
The host lab is led by Jorge Ferrer and includes computational biologists, molecular biologists and geneticists. It is located in Imperial Centre for Translational and Experimental Medicine, a new research building in Imperial College London’s major biomedical campus. For information on the lab’s interests and publications see:
You will lead a project in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, and will focus on computational approaches to understand how specific sequence variants impact genome regulation in pancreatic beta cells and thereby cause diabetes in humans.
Candidates must have a publication record. Diverse educational backgrounds are wellcome, but a computing background is essential. Excellent knowledge in a programming language (e.g Python, C/C++, Perl, R, MatLab) is required. Prior experience with genome-scale data and expertise in statistical analysis is highly advantageous. The ability to work in a team is essential.
Salary Range is £32,750 - £41,540 per annum
