Project Title: Bioinformatician (Research Fellow) for Next-generation
sequencing data management and analysis
Keyword descriptors: Bioinformatics, sequencing, pipeline, programming,
genome scale analysis
Project Description:
We seek a Bioinformatician to manage and analyze data generated by an
ultrahigh-throughput DNA sequencing instrument (e.g. Solexa, 454, ABI Solid
or similar).
Responsibilities will include setting up an analysis server to take sequence
output and conduct downstream bioinformatics analysis including: mapping to
reference sequences, genome re-sequencing, microRNA deep-sequencing,
expression analysis, chip-seq etc. Curation of sequence data, data quality
control, genome scale data analysis and communication with diverse
investigators.
Candidates should have a minimum of a MSc in Computer science,
Bioinformatics or a related area. Applicants with computing skills and a
strong interest in biological problems from a numerate discipline
(engineering, physics, mathematics, biophysics) are also encouraged to
apply.
Candidates should have expertise in Unix/Linux operating systems, skilled in
the use of MySQL databases and have strong knowledge of programming and
scripting languages like Java, C++ and Perl (Bioperl). Knowledge of a
statistical analysis language such as R is a plus.
The contract will be for two years and be made at the level of Research
Fellow level 2 or 3 (40-55k euros depending on relevant experience) and includes pension contribution and benefits.
This promises to be anexciting and challenging role with the opportunity to work with the latest
sequencing technology.
Funding agency/awarding body: Science Foundation Ireland (SFI)
Enquiries to be made to: Letter of interest and CV including names and
addresses of referees by 27th February 2008 to Prof. Brendan Loftus
