Postdoctoral Research Scientist Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the Research Faculty Department at the Earlham Institute, based in Norwich, UK. Background In humans, over 90% of the variants associated with traits are found within noncoding regions of the genomes, either within genes' introns, untranslated regions, promoters, or within intergenic regulatory regions such as enhancers. Identifying those functional noncoding sequences and being able to predict the impact of variation within those regions has significant implications. As such, depending on the genetic disorder, between 30% and 70% of the patients do not receive a genetic diagnosis as the likely causative variants fall outside coding sequences. The recently funded Horizon NextGen consortium encompassing 21 organisations across Europe aiming at developing federated approaches to enable the integration of multimodal and multiomic resources for applications in the areas of cardiovascular medicine. As part of this highly collaborative project bringing together computer scientists, data scientists, bioinformaticians, clinicians across academia and industry, we are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious Postdoctoral Research Scientist to undertake computational analysis of the functional implications of variation within noncoding functional sequences in relation to cardiovascular disorders. The role will engage with primary research. The post holder will work closely with external partners and members of the EU consortium, and will focus on developing machine learning applications to investigate the implications of genetic variation within noncoding functional elements in relation to cardiovascular disorders. The post holder will lead on the development and testing to applications to identify noncoding functional elements based on integration of multi-omic data (genome, transcriptome, epigenome) and integrate this novel information in the development of tissue / condition specific regulatory network, with the aim of prioritising variants occurring within those regions based on their predicted impact. They will also lead on the analysis, preparation, and submission of the associated manuscripts. The successful candidate will develop computational pipelines centered on machine learning applications such as convolutional neural network to reproducibly handle multi-omic data (genome, transcriptome . click apply for full job details

We are building a future where the biology of any organism can be understood by analysing its genome. Our mission is to decode the scale and complexity of living systems so we can understand, benefit from, and protect life on Earth. The Earlham Institute is based on the Norwich Research Park and is one of eight institutes that receive strategic funding from the UKRI Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC). Our Science Earlham Institute scientists specialise in developing and testing the latest tools and approaches needed to decode living systems and make predictions about biology. We are home to state-of-the-art facilities and technology, creating a unique combination of expertise and infrastructure. We have dedicated laboratories for genome sequencing, single-cell analysis, engineering biology, and large-scale automation; as well as one of the largest supercomputing facilities for life science research in Europe. Our Advanced Training team also provides access to specialised scientific training to upskill the next generation of research and technical staff. Our Culture The Earlham Institute champions 'team science'. Our collegiate and innovative research environment comes with significant support, including a commitment to your professional development, research and administrative assistance, and opportunities to build collaborations with scientists and industry on the Norwich Research Park, across the UK, and internationally. The Institute is also home to talented technical and operational staff, whose invaluable contributions enable our science to have the maximum impact. We aim to recognise, reward, and develop all staff and students so that every individual feels able to achieve their best with us. We work hard to nurture an engaged and positive workplace, centred on core values that include openness, technical excellence, and collaboration. We attract staff from around the world who contribute to - and benefit from - an environment that enables them to deliver world-class science alongside a supportive and social community. The project is led by Dr Wilfried Haerty, and the successful candidate will work closely with groups across EI and with external collaborators as part of the Horizon NextGen Consortium. Postdoctoral Research Scientist Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the Research Faculty Department at the Earlham Institute, based in Norwich, UK. Background In humans, over 90% of the variants associated with traits are found within noncoding regions of the genomes, either within genes' introns, untranslated regions, promoters, or within intergenic regulatory regions such as enhancers. Identifying those functional noncoding sequences and being able to predict the impact of variation within those regions has significant implications. As such, depending on the genetic disorder, between 30% and 70% of the patients do not receive a genetic diagnosis as the likely causative variants fall outside coding sequences. The recently funded Horizon NextGen consortium encompassing 21 organisations across Europe aiming at developing federated approaches to enable the integration of multimodal and multiomic resources for applications in the areas of cardiovascular medicine. As part of this highly collaborative project bringing together computer scientists, data scientists, bioinformaticians, clinicians across academia and industry, we are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious Postdoctoral Research Scientist to undertake computational analysis of the functional implications of variation within noncoding functional sequences in relation to cardiovascular disorders. The role will engage with primary research. The post holder will work closely with external partners and members of the EU consortium, and will focus on developing machine learning applications to investigate the implications of genetic variation within noncoding functional elements in relation to cardiovascular disorders. The post holder will lead on the development and testing to applications to identify noncoding functional elements based on integration of multi-omic data (genome, transcriptome, epigenome) and integrate this novel information in the development of tissue / condition specific regulatory network, with the aim of prioritising variants occurring within those regions based on their predicted impact. They will also lead on the analysis, preparation, and submission of the associated manuscripts. The successful candidate will develop computational pipelines centered on machine learning applications such as convolutional neural network to reproducibly handle multi-omic data (genome, transcriptome . click apply for full job details
