The Dekker Lab at UMASS MEDICAL SCHOOL in Worcester, MA has an opening for a talented computational biologist. Work alongside talented individuals using cutting edge research methods.
Please see the Dekker Lab website for additional details:
MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Establish general bioinformatics resources for day-to-day use by members of the laboratory.
* Develop and maintain public web based bioinformatics resources.
* Pipeline development for automated deep sequencing / microarray data analysis.
* Custom database design for the storage / retrieval of large datasets (TBs).
* Provide tabular and written summaries of approaches and analyses in a form suitable for inclusion in manuscripts or grant applications, as well as media for presentation at scientific meetings.
* Develop and implement custom bioinformatics programming solutions in collaboration with lab as necessary.
* Coordinate and collaborate with other research computing expertise at the Medical School as necessary.
* Participate in conference calls and data management meetings as needed. Perform other duties as required.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
* The ability to work in a UNIX/Linux environment and be proficient with a scripting language (e.g. Perl/Python) and/or software programming languages (e.g. C/C++/Java), in algorithm development and common bioinformatics tasks.
* Working knowledge of SQL using (MySQL, Oracle).
* Relevant web development experience with PHP in a LAMP environment using HTML, JavaScript, AJAX and CSS. Adobe FLASH/FLEX experience a plus.
* Familiarity with sequence alignment tools (e.g. MAQ), practical knowledge in the use of genomic databases (UCSC, Ensembl) and familiarity with statistical analysis tools (R, Matlab).
* Knowledge of UNIX/LINUX operating systems, shell scripting and queuing systems for parallel processing.
* Experience of genome scale data analysis would be highly desirable.
