We are looking for a data scientist with extensive experience in genetic data analysis to contribute to our innovative research efforts.
Key Responsibilities:
β’ Data Ingestion: Query external databases to acquire relevant genetic/genomic datasets (e.g., dbSNP, 1000 Genomes Project, gnomAD, GTEx, Ensembl, Open Targets, ClinVar).
β’ Genetic/Genomic Data Analysis: Perform quality control (QC) and analysis of genetic/genomic data, including genotype imputation from array data, variant calling and annotation using state-of-the-art methods (e.g., IMPUTE, Minimac, Eagle, BEAGLE, GATK, bcftools, samtools, ANNOVAR).
β’ QTL Analysis: Conduct QTL analysis to identify genetic loci associated with quantitative traits, utilizing tools such as PLINK, R/qtl, or TASSEL.
β’ Population Genetics Analysis: Analyze genetic variation across populations, including allele frequency estimation, linkage disequilibrium, and population structure analysis.
β’ Data Integration: Integrate genetic datasets with other omics data, including genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data, to provide comprehensive insights into gene function and regulation.
β’ Documentation: Prepare detailed documentation of analysis methods and results in a timely manner.
Quals--
Required Qualifications, skills and experience:-
β’ Minimum: Ph.D. in Genetics, Genomics, Computational Biology, or a related field.
β’ A proven track record of over 5 years in genetic data analysis.

β’ Proficiency in R, Python, and Bash, with the ability to establish best practices for reproducible data analyses.
β’ Experience with high-performance computing (HPC) systems and AWS Cloud Computing (e.g., IAM, S3 buckets).
β’ A collaborative and self-motivated individual with a strong work ethic, capable of managing multiple objectives in a dynamic environment and adapting to changing priorities.
β’ Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
β’ Experience with real-world genetic data processing and analysis.
β’ Proficient in genetic/genomic data analysis tools and techniques.
β’ Understanding of statistical genetics principles and methods.
β’ Expertise in AI/ML.
