  • Integration of genetic and molecular data for multimodal analyses
  • Fluent in R, python, and shell scripting. Some familiarity with C++ will be a plus.
  • Experience working with git and high performance computing (e.g. the slurm scheduling manager).
  • Ability to produce high-quality analysis results with minimal supervision. This includes meeting key deadlines and making sensible independent decisions.
