This is what you're going to do
We offer an innovative, multidisciplinary environment in which you will work as part of the NextGen consortium. Within the consortium, our group aims to identify which genes and biological pathways are involved in cardiovascular disease, with a focus on GWAS, polygenic risk scores (PRS) and drug metabolism (pharmacogenetics). You will work with large (array) genotyped, WGS, and WES datasets utilizing data of hundreds of thousands of samples. We have a combination of deep-phenotyped in-house data and large external cohorts, such as UK Biobank and All of Us. You will work closely with bioinformaticians from the clinical genetics department. We are currently a compact, yet growing group, and as we continue to expand, we are looking for a candidate interested in a long-term role. This also means that there will be flexibility in your responsibilities, tailored to our shared short-term and long-term goals.
You take this with you
- You have a PhD in genetics, statistics, bioinformatics, or a related field;
- You have in-depth experience working with and analyzing (complex) genetic data;
- Preferably, you are experienced in using software such as PLINK, REGENIE, and R, and are used to working in a command-line based environment (e.g. Bash);
- Experience with large-scale cohorts such as UK Biobank and/or All of Us is a pre;
- You are motivated, pro-active, independent, and able to work in an interdisciplinary team in the field of cardiovascular genetics;
- You are (near) fluent in English and proficient in presenting your work, both orally (scientific presentations) and written.
