Applicants should have a Masters degree and/or the equivalent of at least a high 2:1 UK honours degree in one of the following areas: Population Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology or similar field. Programming skills, experience with computer simulations and familiarity with analysis tools designed for genome-wide genotype and second generation sequencing data will be an advantage.
