In this role, you will work as part of multidisciplinary teams to develop and execute cutting edge projects that leverage Genomics England datasets to address research goals such as drug target identification, biomarker discovery, diagnostic discovery, and patient stratification. You will contribute to the scoping, implementation, and application of state-of-the-art approaches for analysis of genomic and other omics modalities, in both leading and supporting capacity. As an expert user of our datasets and research environment, you will develop and fine-tune tools and pipelines to perform custom computational analyses, generate new data and contribute to high quality reports and documentation. Everyday responsibilities include: * Preparing data for downstream analysis, e.g. through quality control, functional annotation, aggregation, harmonisation across different datasets. * Planning and supporting analyses to meet project objectives with internal teams and external stakeholders. Providing support to internal teams and collaborators and being the point of reference for genomic datasets and analytical approaches. * Performing custom computational analyses on whole genome sequencing and other omics data, such as GWAS, aggregate variant testing, meta-analysis, differential abundance, fine-mapping and MR. * Researching the scientific literature, identifying new approaches to processing and analysis of genomics and multi-omics data, benchmarking and improving tools. * Contributing to the publication and dissemination of findings via scientific papers, white papers and conference presentations. ## Related Videos - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [It's all about the Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/425-it-s-all-about-the-data) - [The Data Mesh as the end of the Datalake as we know it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/156-the-data-mesh-as-the-end-of-the-datalake-as-we-know-it) - [Beyond Gut Feelings: The Rise of Data-Driven HR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1326-beyond-gut-feelings-the-rise-of-data-driven-hr) - [NoSQL Data Modeling for Front-end Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/297-nosql-data-modeling-for-front-end-developers) - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk)
