Statistical/Population Geneticist — Immunology Research

Role: Senior geneticist specializing in population genetics and causal inference within immunology drug discovery, focusing on autoimmune diseases. Responsibilities: lead systematic reviews of genetic evidence for immunology targets, apply Mendelian randomization and other causal methods to large datasets (e.g., UK Biobank, AllofUs), interpret GWAS, exome/genome sequencing, and multi-omic data to prioritize and de-risk therapeutic targets, and collaborate cross-functionally to translate findings into drug development strategies. Requirements: Ph.D. in genetic epidemiology, statistical genetics, or related field; extensive experience with large-scale human genetic datasets, Mendelian randomization, and causal inference techniques; proficiency in R, Git, and genotype data tools. Preferred: experience with fine-mapping, colocalization, immune genetics, multi-omics integration, and external collaborations. High-Value: focus on immunology (rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology), autoimmune indications, early target evaluation, and genetic evidence assessment for drug discovery. Work setup: roles based in Indianapolis or Boston, with a focus on collaborative multi-disciplinary engagement to support target prioritization decisions.
