    Computational Scientist - UT Southwestern Medical Center BioHPC

    See link UTSW Careers Website


    UT Southwestern Medical Center is currently expanding its IT infrastructure to meet the big data challenge in biomedical research. As part of this activity Departments of Cell Biology & Biophysics, the Green Center for Systems Biology, Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences, Children's Research Institute, and Texas Institute for Brain Injury and Repair have built a state-of the art high-performance computing infrastructure that includes an HPC cluster containing conventional and GPU-based nodes for parallel computing, large-scale data storage, and integration of HPC with high-performance desktop workstations. We have an opening for a talented and goal-oriented individual to join our highly-dynamic research team as an HPC Computational Scientist. Under the mentorship of the director of IT operations, you will work on the ongoing operations of the system and provide user support for high-end computational projects. You will have the opportunity to work with a range of systems and technologies such as compute clusters, parallel file systems, high-speed interconnects, GPU-based computing, and database servers. You will support faculty and their students in adapting computational research strategies to the specific features of the HPC infrastructure, directly contributing to the scientific mission of the school.

    Technical Requirements:
    Knowledge of Linux operating systems (CentOS/Red Hat (preferred), Fedora, Ubuntu)
    Linux system administration experience
    Software installation and maintenance experience
    Fluent in debugging and programming in at least one of the following languages (C/C++, Python, Matlab, Perl, bash)
    Working knowledge of computer architecture, storage, and networking concepts

    Additional Desirable Skills:
    The following skills are not requirements of a successful applicant, but candidates with these skills are strongly encouraged to apply.
    Web programming (HTML, PHP, MySQL, etc.)
    Technical documentation and delivery of user training
    Database management experience (MySQL, PostgreSQL)
    Experience with highly parallel, clustered, or supercomputing systems
    Experience of installation testing and test reporting
    Experience in automating system administration and configuration (e.g. Puppet)
    Parallel programming using MPI, OpenMP, Pthreads, CUDA etc.
    Experience deploying and maintaining a distributed Windows computing infrastructure.
    Experience with parallel file systems such as GPFS and Lustre.

    Other Requirements:
    A bachelor's degree in computer science or related field is preferred.
    Strong oral and written English communication skills.
    Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work well in a team environment.
    Willingness to work off-hours when needed.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
