Joining or visiting our group

If you have a strong quantitative background and are interested in our research, please get in touch to discuss joining or visiting our group.

Our research is focused on the development of new algorithms for the analysis of (typically large) genomic data sets. This requires a computational background (e.g., statistics, machine learning, algorithms, scientific programming). Our projects are computational, although it is important to be excited about applications within genetics or biology a background in these disciplines is helpful but not required.

  • Postdocs: there are no open postdoctoral positions at the moment, but we are always happy to discuss potential fellowship applications and the possibility of visiting our group.
  • PhD/DPhil students: applicants are encouraged to read about our work and apply to doctoral programs, listing Pier Palamara as a potential supervisor to ensure the application is routed to us. Doctoral programs we are affiliated with include the DPhil in Statistics, StatML CDT, SABS CDT, Health Data Science CDT, and the Genomic Medicine and Statistics CDT.
