Cambridge Centre for Research Associate (Fixed Term)
MRC Biostatistics Unit
The MRC Biostatistics Unit is seeking an ambitious and motivated individual to contribute to exciting research at the intersection of computational statistics and cutting-edge genomics. The post holder will develop Bayesian hierarchical approaches to model genetic regulation across diverse human conditions (tissues, cell types, diseases) and explore how the dynamics of this regulation contributes to disease risk and progression. He/she will conduct original research at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge University, working with Dr Hélène Ruffieux and Prof. Sylvia Richardson.
The MRC Biostatistics Unit is a leading centre of biostatistics research in Europe. It hosts four research programmes with the aim to respond to current and future scientific needs in health and biomedicine. The successful applicant will be part of the "Statistical genomics" programme which develops and applies methodological and computational approaches for complex molecular data to clarify the biological processes behind human diseases and provide actionable treatment insights.
