Job Description:
The candidate should be highly trained and have substantial experience in genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, human population genetics, biostatistics, or a related field. He or she should have experience analyzing high-throughput genomic datasets derived from microarray and/or other high-throughput technologies (e.g., experience with GWAS, gene expression, ChIP-Seq, ChIP-chip, or CNVs) and skills in some of the following programming languages (R / Bioconductor, Matlab, SQL, SAS, Perl, Python, Java, or C/C++). A solid understanding of genetics is a plus. Because our work involves multiple collaborators, a good balance between independence and team spirit is essential, and effective communication skills are necessary. The position offers a stimulating and multi-disciplinary environment. There are multiple possibilities for interaction with other researchers at the MGH, MIT, and the Broad Institute. SPECIFIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: -Design and organize databases for systems-biology based projects. -Responsible for the design, execution, and interpretation of systems biology experiments. -Contribute to QA/QC of data to prepare datasets for analysis. -Interfaces with team members to accomplish group projects in addition to primary project. -Interfaces with collaborators to prepare, analyze, and interpret data. -Writes new code as needed to enhance the rapidly evolving set of analysis methods for high throughput data sets -Displays initiative and independence in accomplishing all duties and responsibilities. -Prepares summary reports of data and results for dissemination to colleagues and collaborators. Both technical summaries and documents for a wider scientific audience will be generated. -Directly responds to inquiries regarding projects being managed. Produces subsets of data for distribution to collaborators as approved by the principal investigators. -All other duties as assigned. SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: Supervises the analysis of graduate students, postdocs, and other researchers at The Ragon Institute as needed. WORKING CONDITIONS: Will work from a computational cubicle and will travel as needed to execute projects. Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with 2 or more years of demonstrated bioinformatics or computational biology experience. SKILLS/ABILITIES/COMPETENCIES REQUIRED: -Demonstrated analytical and problem solving skills. -Skills with handling and analyzing microarray expression data. -Programming experience in R / Bioconductor, Matlab, SQL, Perl, Python, Java, or C/C++. -Understanding of statistical issues with the analysis of genomic data. -Ability to work independently and display initiative within a team environment.
