Duties and responsibilities
- Systematically identify genetic variants with distal (‘trans-eQTL’) effects on gene expression across a range of cell types and tissues present in the eQTL Catalogue and other external datasets.
- Meta-analysis and fine mapping of novel and existing gene expression and genotype datasets.
- Benchmarking and evaluation of computational approaches for inferring signatures of cellular processes from gene expression datasets.
- Regular presentation of results at internal meetings and scientific conferences.
- Collaboration with other team members to improve software and scientific workflows developed internally.
- Supervising bachelor, master's and doctoral students.
- Participation in the work of the university’s decision-making bodies is recommended.
