Job Description:
Are you interested in research at the exciting interface of computation and biology? Are you excited by the challenge of discovering new knowledge from large biological datasets to make a difference in basic science and in human health? A new computational biology research group in the Center for Public Heath Genomics at the University of Virginia led by Nathan Sheffield is recruiting individuals with an interest in team-oriented computational biology. The successful applicant will have a PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, biomedical engineering, genomics, or related field in hand by start date. Furthermore, this position requires a biological understanding in genomics, gene regulation, cancer biology, or related field, as evidenced by first-author publications in high impact journals. Exceptional applicants from other fields who wish to transition to computational genomics will also be considered. Computational experience with linux command-line systems, R, Python, C++, object-oriented programming, and git is preferred. Candidates must be a willing to contribute to team projects (such as building communal software) and demonstrate commitment to sharing software and data with the community.
Additional Info:
The group (http://www.databio.org) occupies wet and dry lab space in the Center for Public Health Genomics. We are also affiliated with the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Public Health Sciences in the School of Medicine, as well as the Data Science Institute and the Child Health Research Center. These affiliations across grounds demonstrate the interdisciplinarity and collaboration priority of the group. We make use of Rivanna, UVA's high-performance cluster, for computational analysis. Our research is centered around using advanced computation to answer biological questions; Projects vary in biological emphasis, including epigenomics, cancer biology, epigenetics, differentiation, and single-cell analysis. To apply, visit https://jobs.virginia.edu and search for Posting Number 0619301. Complete a candidate profile online, attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae and contact information for three references. The position will remain open until filled. The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, veterans and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply. This position is restricted and contingent upon the continuation of funding. University Leadership Characteristics: For Thomas Jefferson, learning was an integral part of life. The "academical village" was created around the assumption that learning is a lifelong and shared process, and that interaction between scholars and students enlivens the pursuit of knowledge. University Human Resources strives to identify applicants who will contribute as high potential employees, leaders and managers. We employ individuals who foster and promote the University mission and purpose. Successful candidates exemplify uncommon integrity; they are honest, trusted, team-oriented and live the core values of the University. These candidates display great judgment, by practicing evidence-based decision-making. They are strategically focused by contributing to and achieving department goals and vision. They set high performance standards and hold themselves accountable by aggressively executing these standards. These employees also develop a deep passion for the University and the impact it has on students, faculty, alumni and community. Successful candidates identify their personal career goals and development opportunities, and as supervisors, help their staff do the same. They contribute to team success by leading talent, through their individual efforts and by leading and developing their teams.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
