Principal Scientist (12 months temporary) / Sr Scientist (7 months temporary)
Amgen deCODE genetics is seeking two motivated statisticians or data scientists to join our team in temporary positions. The candidates will work with large-scale human genetic and proteomic datasets, contributing to ongoing research projects aimed at understanding human traits and disease.
The roles will involve statistical analysis of large datasets, interpretation of results, and collaboration with scientists across a range of research projects.
Key responsibilities
- Apply statistical methods to analyze large-scale genetic and proteomic datasets
- Apply and develop analysis workflows using R and/or Python
- Interpret and communicate results to collaborators and contribute to scientific projects
Qualifications
- Background in statistics, data science, bioinformatics or a related quantitative field
- MSc or PhD degree in relevant field is an advantage
- Experience with R and/or Python
- Experience working in a Linux environment is preferred
- Experience with genomic or proteomic data is an advantage
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment
Two temporary positions are available, for approximately 7 and 12 months, respectively.

Helstu verkefni
- Beiting tölfræðilegra aðferða við greiningu umfangsmikilla erfðamengis- og próteingagna
- Þróun og notkun greiningarferla í R og/eða Python
- Túlkun og miðlun niðurstaðna og þátttaka í rannsóknarverkefnum
Menntun og hæfni
- Bakgrunnur í tölfræði, gagnafræði, lífupplýsingafræði eða sambærilegum greinum
- MSc eða PhD gráða í viðeigandi grein er kostur
- Reynsla af R og/eða Python
- Reynsla af vinnu í Linux-umhverfi er æskileg
