The successful applicant will focus on modelling the genomic influences underlying early language and social behaviour including links with brain-related phenotypes, rhythmicity and later-life outcomes but also family-related and societal influences. Analyses will include information from population-based cohorts (e.g. the EAGLE consortium ) and clinical collections (e.g. samples from the Simons Foundation ). Statistical analyses will include, for example, Mendelian Randomisation-based approaches and structural equation modelling techniques applied to genetic, epigenetic and/or expression data.
