In addition to clinical information, data on numerous genetic markers in candidate genes is currently available. Data on genetic markers covering the entire genome will become available at the very beginning of the employment. Next to the main task of performing the analyses and publication of the results, you will assist in coordination of the entire project, including the molecular genetic work related to the genome-wide association analyses.
