Description
A Computational Biologist/Bioinformaticist is sought to join the lab of Debashish Bhattacharya (http://dblab.rutgers.edu) at Rutgers University as a full-time staff Laboratory Researcher IV. Applications must be filed at the Rutgers University job page (http://uhr.rutgers.edu/jobs/JobDetai..._num=10-001036). The individual who fills this position will perform analysis of genome data using existing computational tools and interpretation and presentation of data and results to other lab members. The Bioinformaticist will be expected to train other lab members in use of specialized tools for genome research, contribute to manuscript and grant preparation, generate a genome database, and must have some ability with scripting languages to build and maintain bioinformatic pipelines.
Qualifications and Experience
A bachelor's degree in a biological or computer science or an equivalent combination of education and/or experience is required. The candidate should have experience with genome assembly software and downstream analyses such as functional annotation, phylogenetics, and comparative genomics. Prior knowledge of evolutionary biology and molecular evolution at the college level is required. Experience with next generation sequencing platforms and building, operating, and maintaining high performance computer clusters for biological research is highly desirable, as is prior research experience.
