Senior Post Doctoral Researcher - Bioinformatics/Statistical Genetics (Fixed Term)
Department of Clinical Neurosciences
The University of Cambridge wishes to appoint a talented senior postdoctoral research associate in bioinformatics/computational biology and statistical genetics to join a team of clinical, laboratory and computational scientists in the research groups of Prof Patrick Chinnery, Prof Rita Horvath and Dr Jelle van den Ameele at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit.
The post holder will lead an exciting project to discover how nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) interact in the human population. They will then determine whether the disruption of these interactions contributes to common late onset diseases including neurodegenerative disorders.
