Our client, a leading research institution, is looking for a highly motivated and experienced Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join their cutting-edge genomics research group based in London, England, UK . This is an exciting opportunity for a talented scientist to contribute to groundbreaking research in the field of human genomics, focusing on the genetic basis of complex diseases. The role will involve designing and executing experiments, analysing large-scale genomic datasets, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinicians. The successful candidate will be expected to take a leading role in specific research projects, mentor junior researchers, and contribute to manuscript preparation and grant writing.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead independent research projects focused on human genomics, including study design, experimental execution, and data analysis.
  • Utilise advanced bioinformatics tools and computational methods to analyse next-generation sequencing (NGS) data (e.g., WGS, WES, RNA-seq).
  • Develop and implement novel analytical pipelines for genomic data.
  • Interpret complex genomic findings in the context of human disease and biological mechanisms.
  • Collaborate with clinicians and other researchers to translate genomic discoveries into clinical applications.
  • Author high-impact publications in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Present research findings at international conferences and seminars.
  • Supervise and mentor junior postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and research assistants.
  • Contribute to the writing of grant proposals to secure funding for future research.
  • Maintain detailed laboratory notebooks and ensure data integrity and reproducibility.
  • Stay current with the latest advancements in genomics, bioinformatics, and relevant biological fields.

Qualifications:
  • PhD in Genomics, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
  • A strong publication record in reputable peer-reviewed journals.
  • Demonstrated expertise in human genomics, including experience with NGS data analysis.
  • Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in bioinformatics (e.g., Python, R).
  • Experience with statistical genetics and population genetics principles.
  • Familiarity with human genetic variation databases and annotation tools.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex scientific information clearly.
  • Proven ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team.
  • Experience in supervising or mentoring junior researchers is highly desirable.
  • Experience with specific disease areas (e.g., cancer, neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease) is a plus.
