The University of Glasgow is seeking a Statistical/Machine Learning Data Analyst within the College of MVLS Shared Research Facilities.

The postholder will be responsible for performing analysis of large, complex, multi-platform data sets generated at the facility in support of world class research. This will entail research on appropriate statistical and machine-learning methodology in the areas of large scale omics data such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics/metabolomics and the integration of these, as well as outputs for functions such as protein analysis and cellular analysis. It will also involve writing software to implement developed algorithms, such that it can be used in a production environment.

This position is full-time (35 hrs. per week) and open ended.
