    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join Professor James Davies' Laboratory. The post will involve working on a project to develop deep neural network based methods for designing genome editing strategies to treat rare diseases.

    The postholder will join a large multidisciplinary team covering molecular methodologies, genomics, single cell genomics/transcriptomics, computational biology and machine learning. The overarching aim of the project is to develop strategies to treat patients with rare genetic disorders at scale. Duties will include assisting with the development of software and algorithms for the prediction of genome editing strategies at scale and to develop deep neural network models to assist in identification of the most effective editing strategies and to select disease variants.
