About the Role:

You will own the scientific integrity of our computational platform's upstream data layer. Working with large longitudinal multi-omics cohorts, you will process, QC, and harmonise complex biological datasets, implement causal inference analyses, and annotate prioritised candidates with biological context. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of data quality and biological insight - your work directly determines what enters the platform and how confidently we can interpret what comes out.

Responsibilities:

• Process, QC, and harmonise multi-omics datasets from large longitudinal cohorts
• Implement and maintain reproducible bioinformatics pipelines
• Perform longitudinal omics analyses and mixed-effects modelling
• Conduct causal inference analyses integrating molecular and genetic data
• Annotate and contextualise biological candidates using public databases
• Maintain rigorous documentation and version control across all workflows

Requirements:

• PhD or equivalent in bioinformatics, computational biology, or human genetics
• Strong Python and R skills; proficient in the Bioconductor ecosystem
• Hands-on experience with processing and QC of genetic, epigenetic, gene expression and protein data
• Experience with GWAS, mQTL, or eQTL datasets and methods
• Working knowledge of Mendelian randomisation
