The Department of Biostatistics has an outstanding opportunity for a Statistical Analyst. The Department of Biostatistics of the University of Washington, through the Center for Biomedical Statistics and the Genetics Coordinating Center, is engaging in an increasing number of analyses of genetic data, mainly from human population samples. These data sets include whole-genome sets of single nucleotide polymorphism data from microarrays and next-generation sequencing, as well as a variety of phenotypic traits of medical importance. All of these data sets are characterized by large size and complex interaction structure. Care is needed in the management of these data and in applying new methods of statistical analyses. These positions require computational and statistical skills. A knowledge of genetic principles and terminology would be an advantage but not essential. The specific projects generating the data change from time to time but they usually address issues of human health: either the causes of human disease or the causes of response to pharmaceuticals. The projects are from academic, non-profit and industrial institutions.
