We are looking to recruit a genetic specialist in the Group of Johan Grunewald in the Respiratory Medicine Division to work on sarcoidosis projects to explore genetic variation across population ancestries associated with disease risk and sarcoidosis target organ phenotypes. Specifically, the successful candidate will lead consortium efforts and statistical analyses using large genomic datasets to examine disease genetic risk and elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathobiology.
The specialist will work with national and international collaborators to conduct large-scale genome-wide association studies to identify genetic variants associated with disease risk and test the hypothesis that genetic variation is a central component of the disease’s genetic architecture.
The specialist should also have experience in conducting genome-wide association studies, gene-environment interaction studies, and applying other genetic approaches, as well as be able to expand the research field. The research specialist will be responsible for leading the research field, processing large genomic datasets, running analyses, and disseminating results to the scientific community.
The post will include:
PhD in statistical genetics, molecular medicine, or a related discipline with a computational/quantitative background.
The candidate has demonstrated good research expertise with significant scientific production.
The candidate has demonstrated good scientific independence, to which his/her contribution has been significant in the genetics of sarcoidosis.
Candidate has a research plan of high quality with clear future potential.
To be eligible for employment as a Research Specialist, in addition to holding a Degree of Doctor, PhD, or having equivalent scientific expertise, the applicant must have demonstrated research expertise as well as have documented research experience after defending their doctoral dissertation.
It is particularly meritorious that the applicant has shown
The candidate ideally has experience in sarcoidosis genetics and has a keen interest in complex diseases in pulmonary medicine and in the following:
