Applications are invited for a Research Assistant to work with Professor James Davies and Professor Jim Hughes.

This is a exciting opportunity to work on developing cutting-edge genomics methods. The main focus will be on unravelling the intricate relationship between the sequence of the human genome and the development of common diseases. You will work on a collaborative project with Professor Ceclia Lindgen’s group at the Big Data Institute that aims to develop machine learning and laboratory-based approaches, for decoding how the human genome encodes gene expression levels. You will undertake large scale data generation from primary human samples using a method recently pioneered by the host laboratory (Hua et al., Nature 2021).

If you are eager to gain experience in world leading genomics m...
