Dr. Bryce Nickels Lab Bioinformatics Specialist Position:
The Nickels Lab at Rutgers University uses Next Generation Sequencing to study how gene expression is regulated at the level of transcription. Specific areas of interest include small RNA-mediated gene regulation and the regulation of transcription elongation and termination. We are seeking a talented Bioinformatics Specialist to join the lab.
Your responsibilities will be two-fold:
1. Design and implementation of strategies for the analysis of high throughput sequencing data in consultation with other lab members and according to the specific needs of their projects.
2. Direct your own analyses of data to identify possible new areas of research, using your expertise in bioinformatics to develop new projects to advance laboratory goals.
In addition to collaborating on multiple informatics-based projects, the ideal candidate will also conduct research that leads to independent presentations at meetings and first author publications.
The ideal candidate will have a Masters degree or PhD in bioinformatics.
Your skills should include:
• Strong foundation in molecular biology
• Proficient with UNIX/LINUX
• Highly proficient with Perl or Python
• Highly proficient with C++ or Java
• Experience with statistical analysis using R or Matlab.
• Experience with open-source software, tools, and databases for analyzing next-generation sequencing data (RNA-seq, DNA variation)
• Working knowledge of how to apply statistical tests to large datasets
Must have excellent communications skills and the ability to work well with other members of the group.
Please send curriculum vitae and contact information for three references by email to bnickels at waksman dot rutgers dot edu

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
