The MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics & Genomics at Cardiff University School of Medicine seeks to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate. The successful applicant will work as the lead postdoctoral researcher on a project funded by the Medical Research Council (U.K.), and will be responsible for the analysis of RNA-Seq and genotype data that have been generated. The main aims of the project are to characterize RNA transcripts in the developing human brain and to assess effects of genetic risk variants for neuropsychiatric disorders on their expression. Ultra deep whole transcriptome sequencing and genome-wide genotyping of a unique collection of human brain samples has already been performed for this purpose. The successful applicant will have expertise in RNA-Seq analyses and handling of large datasets.
