Ever wondered why it might be a bad idea to lend your car to a teenager? Why do many forms of neuropsychiatric disorders including Schizophrenia, depression and bipolar-disorder have a late onset, typically late teens - early twenties? The goal of our lab is to study the cellular- and network-changes that occur after birth throughout to adulthood and which genetic programs that control these changes. We use our cell type-specific knowledge to further our understanding of genetically complex disorders with a focus on Schizophrenia.
We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced researchspecialist to conduct integrative research on single-cell transcriptomics, genomics, and epidemiology to Jens Hjerling-Leffler group.
A major role of the job is to design and conduct analysis to integrate genomic data with other types of data. Therefore, the successful candidate should also have deep understanding of molecular genetic data analyses, such as GWAS, CNV calling, polygenic risk score, QTL analysis, and how to handle and make use of linkage disequilibrium (LD).
Since our research also aims at filling the gap between the molecular findings and clinical meanings, we require some experience on clinical and/or epidemiological data, including, but not limited to, the Swedish medical registers.
The successful candidate is expected to be familiar with the field of psychiatric genetics; experience and knowledge in the genetics of schizophrenia is an advantage.
