Please review the below description and let us know if you are interested.

Responsibilities of the Senior Genetic Data Scientist Statistical Geneticist:

Will lead the development of cutting-edge statistical approaches and workflows to analyze large-scale human cohorts with genetic and multi-dimensional, multi-modality phenotypic data. These will be obtained from public sources, as well as private datasets generated in-house and obtained through our collaborations.

Use genetic association and other statistical genetics techniques that involve integration of genetic, genomic, and clinical data to guide in vitro disease model development.

Work closely with a cross-functional team of life scientists, bioengineers, and machine learning scientists to integrate human level data with our high-throughput in-house in vitro genomic and phenotypic data to identify therapeutic targets and develop drugs that have high efficacy and low toxicity.

Requirements of the Senior Genetic Data Scientist Statistical Geneticist:

Ph.D. in statistics, genetics, computational biology or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
Demonstrated ability to use and develop cutting edge methods for analyzing human genetic data
Hands-on experience with genetic association testing (eQTL mapping, GWAS, EWAS, PheWAS, etc.) and/or post-association analysis using summary statistics (fine mapping, colocalization, LD score regression, meta-analysis, etc.)
Experience mining modern, large-scale genetic databases (e.g. ExAC/gnomAD, UK Biobank, UK10K, EBI GWAS Catalog, 1KG, etc.)
Strong fundamentals in applied multivariate statistics; experience working with statistical models for complex datasets, effectively measuring goodness of fit and estimating confidence
Proficiency in working with large-scale datasets in Python; experience with R, C/C++ or other compiled, statically typed languages is a plus
Ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds and job functions

Nice to have experience for the Senior Genetic Data Scientist Statistical Geneticist:

Experience working with multi-dimensional phenotypes
Experience working with genomic data from different modalities (DNA sequencing, RNA-seq, proteomics, DNA accessibility assays, etc.)
Experience integrating genetic studies from diverse populations, including correcting for population structure, ethnicity or differences between genotyping platforms
Experience applying quantitative trait loci (QTL) approaches to clinical data, including imaging data
Familiarity with cloud computing services (e.g., AWS or GCP) and workflow management tools or batch scheduling systems (e.g. SLURM)
Proficiency in Linux environment (including shell/Bash scripting), experience with database languages (e.g., SQL) and experience with version control practices and tools (e.g. Git)
