The focus of the A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential (A*STAR IHDP) is research to improve the health and well-being of Singaporeans across the life course.
Join us at A*STAR IHDP to drive genetic and molecular epidemiologic research using data from longitudinal cohort studies in Singapore and around the world. In this role, you will apply state?of?the?art multi?omics analytical techniques to assist in and lead research projects and contribute to studies with real-world public health impact. You will work with a multidisciplinary team of epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and bioinformaticians to unravel the behavioural and molecular mechanisms that shape early?life development and influence late?life disease risk.

Job Responsibilities

Genetic and molecular epidemiologic analyses in longitudinal cohort studies
Develop, document, and maintain robust analysis workflows to ensure transparency and reproducibility
Learn and implement appropriate statistical techniques and pipelines (e.g., inverse probability weighting, Mendelian randomization, PLINK, GCTA-COJO, SuSiE) to address complex research questions
Prepare clear visualisations, slide decks, and written summaries for internal team presentations and scientific conferences
Data cleaning and management
Assist in scientific writing
Other ad-hoc duties as assigned

Job Requirements

Bachelor or Master degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, statistics, public health, or a relevant field
Proficient in R (data manipulation, modelling, visualisation)
Basic understanding of genetic epidemiology
Good written and verbal communication skills
Collaborative mindset with the ability to work independently
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects

Preferred Skills

Hands-on experience with genomic datasets in a high-performance computing cluster
Familiarity with commonly used statistical genetics tools (e.g., PLINK)
A good understanding of genomic approaches (e.g., genome-wide association studies, pQTL, polygenic risk score)
