Job Description:
The Bioengineering Systems and Technology group works on a wide range of topics including numerous biological and medical applications. The group is in search of a creative individual to support and expand the Laboratory’s engineered biosystems portfolio through management of current technical efforts and innovative development of novel program concepts. The successful candidate will have demonstrated successful technical execution as well as managerial competence in these or related research areas: bioinformatics analysis for multi-omic data sets; 'big data' set ingestion, processing, and analysis; molecular and cellular assays; and/or microbial assays and analysis. The candidate will work closely with experts in sensor technology, synthetic biology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, microfluidics, and physiological monitoring. The position involves both technical execution (experiment planning, execution, and trouble-shooting) as well as supervision of small teams. Requirements: A PhD in bioinformatics, computer science, computer engineering, or related field is desired. In lieu of a PhD, an MS with at least 5 years of directly related experience will be considered. Familiarity with physiological monitoring, biomedical imaging, and biomolecular sensing are desired. Familiarity with managing and analyzing ‘big data’ sets is strongly desired. Experience with algorithm design, testing, and optimization strongly desired. Prior experience in both program management and technical execution is required. Familiarity with the unique problems and priorities of the national security community is strongly desired. Excellent communication and leadership skills are also strongly desired.
Additional Info:
The Bioengineering Systems and Technologies Group seeks to improve the performance of human-centered missions through preventing injury and disease, improving sensing and identification of people and their environment, and speeding rehabilitation and recovery. This goal is accomplished through four broad technical areas: biomedical research, synthetic biology, bioinformatics and biometrics, and forensics. Biomedical research includes advanced sensing, algorithms, modeling, prototyping, and field testing of technologies to diagnose disease, predict outcomes, avoid injuries, and monitor and enhance human performance. The synthetic biology research area emphasizes the development of tools and techniques that will greatly speed the design, evaluation, and assessment of genome-wide engineering approaches through highly integrated microfluidic devices. Bioinformatics is applied across the group to uncover signatures in high-throughput genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data sets. Biometrics and forensics research is developing technologies and systems for human identification, including rapid DNA analysis, standoff biometric sensing, scientific validation of forensic techniques, and integrated architecture analyses. This highly interdisciplinary group draws on skills from biology, biochemistry, biosignal processing, engineering, computer science, physics, and medical research areas. Primary government sponsors are in the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Justice, as well as the National Institutes of Health. MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
