Project Description: Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) are conducted to identify genetic

factors underlying complex diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Apart from
GWAS, parallel evidence comes from other genomic studies of diseases, such as transcriptomic & eQTL
studies and also various biological databases. Innovative statistical methods and sophisticated
computational tools are required for systematic integration of these high-dimensional inter-connected
datasets to accelerate genomic discoveries. This is a Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance funded
project involving development of statistical methods and computational tools in the areas of genomic
data-mining and integrative genomics. This position is contractual. The tenure of appointment will
initially be for one year and may be extended depending on performance, availability of funds and
requirements of the institute.
