• Bulk RNA-seq
• Single-cell RNA-seq (required)
• Genotype/GWAS data analysis
• Spatial transcriptomics (preferred)
• Proteomics data (e.g., Olink preferred)
• Strong experience in statistical genetics and transcriptomics analysis
• Proficiency in R, Python, and Bash , with ability to develop reproducible and scalable workflows
• Experience working with high-performance computing (HPC) systems
• Hands-on experience with AWS cloud platforms (e.g., S3, IAM, and related services)
• Experience working with large-scale external genomic datasets
• Must have a strong publication record (to be included in resume)
• Must be willing to relocate at own expense if non-local and join as per project timelines

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct large-scale statistical genetics analyses to support target discovery and validation
• Perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using population-scale biobank datasets (e.g., UK Biobank, FinnGen, Our Future Health, and other consortium datasets)
• Develop, implement, and optimize scalable and reproducible computational pipelines for genomic data analysis
• Perform meta-analysis of genetic association datasets and integrate public and proprietary summary statistics
• Execute post-GWAS analyses including fine-mapping, colocalization, Mendelian Randomization, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), and polygenic risk scoring (PRS)
• Integrate and analyze multi-omics datasets such as bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, QTLs, and proteomics data for gene and target prioritization
• Contribute to data integration strategies linking genetics with functional genomics and molecular phenotypes
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including computational scientists, disease area experts, and wet-lab biologists
• Stay current with emerging methodologies in statistical genetics, computational biology, and AI/ML applications in genomics
• Contribute to the interpretation and communication of complex genetic findings to support drug discovery programs

Required Qualifications

• PhD (or equivalent) in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistical Genetics, Biostatistics, Genetic Epidemiology, or related quantitative field
• Minimum 5+ years of post-PhD experience in human genetics or complex disease genetics research
• Strong hands-on experience in GWAS and large-scale genomic data analysis
• Demonstrated experience in multi-omics data integration, including RNA-seq and/or single-cell RNA-seq
• Strong programming skills in R, Python, and Bash
• Experience working in HPC environments and cloud platforms (AWS including S3, IAM, etc.)
• Strong understanding of reproducible research practices and scalable pipeline development
• Experience working with large, complex datasets in collaborative research environments
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with spatial transcriptomics and emerging single-cell technologies
• Proteomics experience (e.g., Olink or similar platforms)
• Familiarity with machine learning/AI approaches applied to genomics or multi-omics data
• Experience in cardiometabolic disease, immunology, neuroscience, or other complex disease areas
• Strong knowledge of advanced statistical genetics methods including TWAS, Mendelian Randomization, colocalization, fine-mapping, and PRS modeling
