The Lindblad-Toh laboratory’s research programs within the collaborative environment of Uppsala University, Faculty of Medicine and SciLifeLab focus on, but are not restricted to, using comparative genomics to unravel the complexities of complex disease, spanning cancer, innate and acquired immunity, and neurobiology. To achieve this goal, we layer population level genome-wide association studies, with an array of omics and traditional genetic, biochemical, and physiological techniques applied to canine models, human cell lines and patient samples.
At the moment we have a number of large datasets to be analyzed including, but not limited to, human resequencing data on multiple immunological diseases. Additionally, canine GWAS data sets exist for both cancers, atopy, behavior and renal dysplasia. We are seeking an innovative, energetic and collaborative individual to work as part of a team to complete a number of these projects.
Job Description: The applicant will work with a pleitora of genetic and genomic techniques including GWAS in dogs and association analysis of case controls cohorts based on resequencing of 1900 human genes. Both single variant tests and burden tests will be used. Identified loci will be further analyzed and annotated using both additional RNA seq and functional genomics dataset and further fine-mapping of all genetic variants in each locus. You will also perform or coordinate functional assays such as EMSA and luciferase assays with colleagues in the lab. You will communicate and meet with the group leaders on a regular basis and with external collaborators as the need arises and regularly present data at laboratory meetings. Some teaching may be included.
