The primary responsibilities are to participate in research activities in the School of Medicine, in part by providing bioinformatic analyses for biomedical researchers, and to teach bioinformatics and statistical methods to medical students and residents, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. Research responsibilities will include analysis of next generation sequencing data and managing high throughput data pipelines. An ability to write data analysis scripts in programming languages such as R, Python, and/or Java, and familiarity with commonly-used open-source bioinformatics software is required. Although all well-qualified candidates will be considered, preference will be given to individuals with research interests in the genomic, genetic, epigenetic and environmental causes of complex diseases and with prior experience in statistical and bioinformatic analysis of high-throughput sequencing data.
The successful candidate will have a broad understanding of biomedical research goals, consult with biomedical investigators on experimental design and data analysis, collaborate in the preparation of grant applications and participate in the group meetings of the Bioinformatics and Genomics Core Facilities. Competitive state-funded salary commensurate with experience will be provided.
