Description of Work:
This is a contract fellowship through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) analyzing whole-genome data from bacterial pathogens associated with foodborne outbreaks. The position is available for two years with possible extension depending on funding.
Scope of Work:
1. Managing the public release of FDA generated sequence data (i.e. interfacing with various databases at NCBI).
2. Analyzing DNA sequences from pathogenic bacterial strains using phylogenetic, population genetic, and comparative genomic approaches.
3. Assisting in the generation of DNA sequence data using next generation sequencing technologies (Illumina, 454, PacBio, and IonTorrent).
Requirements:
1. Experience with DNA sequence analysis
2. Proficiency working in a linux/unix environment
3. Expertise with at least one programming language (i.e. perl, python, java, etc.)
4. At lease some experience with wet bench work (i.e. PCR, DNA sequencing).
Applicants should have a Bachelors or Masters degree in Bioinformatics, Biology, Computer Science, or related field.
Salary:
Experience dependent: 40-45K with Bachelors degree, 55-60K with Masters degree.
Location:
FDA/CFSAN/ORS/DM
5100 Paint Branch Pkwy
College Park, MD 20740
