Your responsibilities
Imputation is a crucial step in the analysis of human genetic data and underpins the vast majority of the discoveries in human disease genetics to date. Since the beginning of this year all publicly available imputation servers are now located outside of the EU, thereby meaning few EU studies can use them unless they obtain consent from all participants to allow their data to be sent to a third country, as required under GDPR. We are looking for a candidate to work on implementing a publicly available imputation server in Munich. This will require:

- Overseeing the day to day data management
- Project management
- Knowledge of GDPR with a particular focus on human genetic data
