Job Description:
The Genome Information Analysis Team studies transcriptional networks and develops innovative analysis technologies based on next generation sequencing data. Currently there are several bioinformaticians and a wet technician in the team and research projects include cancer biomarker discovery, transcriptional network models, time-series analysis, development of new bioinformatics tools such as the ZENBU Genome Browser and the over-arching bioinformatics analysis for the FANTOM projects. There is potential for the new leader to build a research portfolio based on analysis of large scale Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data, in particular coupled to new technologies, which we develop in the Division, to broadly understand biological function. Job title and description [Positions available] One opening for a Team Leader. [Job Description] 1. Oversee, manage and promote research activities described in the [Research Field] section. 2. Strongly promote professional growth of your supervised team members. 3. Input and leadership in planning of large scale NGS projects with respect to experimental design and analysis strategy. 4. Develop bioinformatics tools for novel technologies based on NGS. 5. Working collaboratively with wet and dry teams within the center and around the world. 6. Manage budget and acquire external funds. 7. Carry out management work for the center/division (committee work, events, outreach activities, etc.). Qualifications 1. PhD holder in an area relevant to the [Research Field] with more than 5years of work experience in a relevant field. 2. Deep expertise and a wealth of experience to carry out the research work described under [Research Field]. 3. Managerial/subleader experience and the necessary leadership and management abilities to manage a research laboratory and direct laboratory staff, etc. 4. Experience acquiring external funding (Kakenhi, etc.). 5. Ability to smoothly communicate, coordinate and collaborate on work with persons of differing nationalities both in and outside the lab. 6. First/last author on papers in Science, Nature, PNAS and other high Impact factor journals in the following areas within the past 5years. • Systems biology and transcriptional regulatory network prediction • Long non-coding RNAs • Large scale transcriptome analysis Integration of large scale sequence datasets • Cross species sequence or network comparison • Matched genome-transcriptome studies including eQTL identification, GWAS • Machine learning and pattern recognition • Promoter architecture and motif finding • Bioinformatics and computational Biology 7. Professional abilities in English (participate in research discussions, write research papers, document submissions, etc.). Work location RIKEN Center for Life Science Technologies (Yokohama Campus) 1-7-22 Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 230-0045, Japan
