 This postdoc position is funded through a grant from the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative, as part of a large collaborative project investigating the causes of sex differences in autism. The postdoctoral fellow will collaborate closely with colleagues at the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge (Simon Baron-Cohen and Varun Warrier), the Hurles group at the Sanger, and the Autism Sequencing Consortium. The project will entail analysing large-scale exome/genome-sequencing data and genotype data from autism and developmental disorder cohorts (including a new UK-based study, Spectrum10K) and from population-based studies such as ALSPAC and UK Biobank.
Salary per annum: £33,272 - £41,709
