The Human Technopole is looking for a
Technician (statistician/statistical geneticist)
of the Biostatistics Unit for the
Centre for Genomics - Population and Medical Genomics Programme.

Human Technopole (HT) is a new interdisciplinary research institute in Milan, Italy, created and supported by the Italian government whose aim is to develop innovative strategies to promote human health through a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, combining genomics, computational and structural biology, neuroscience, and data and decisions sciences.

The Population and Medical Genomics Programme is part of the Genomics Research Centre, and will deploy large-scale genomic analyses to study the genetic basis of human traits and diseases.

We are looking for a
Technician of
the Biostatistics
Unit, a new state-of-the-art unit for the statistical analysis of genetic data from human populations.

This newly created unit will support the data analysis efforts of the research groups in the Population and Medical Genomics Programme.

The unit will work with research teams in a collaborative fashion, performing statistical analysis on a variety of genomics data types.

The unit will rely on data generated by the research teams, the Cellular Technologies Unit and the Genomics Core Facility of HT.

The unit will also be involved in the analysis of data generated by external collaborators and publicly available data when required.

The Unit will benefit from a large High-Performance Computing and Data Storage infrastructure, and from close interaction with an expert community of computational biologists within the Genomics Centre, other Research Centres, and of core facilities at HT.

A key mission of the
Technician of the Biostatistics Unit **will be to carry out advanced statistical analyses of genetic data in order to produce reliable and reproducible results useful to carry forward the work within the centre and the institute in general.
