Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Joint Genome Institute Division has an opening for a Software Developer. This role will serve as a Bioinformatics Software Developer for the next generation of IMG. The next generation of IMG is being developed in order to handle orders of magnitudes more data which is being generated by modern sequencers at JGI and elsewhere. You will work on redeveloping the pipelines to accommodate this increased volume of data as well as add new features. The incumbent will be comfortable working with very large datasets in an interdisciplinary scientific group. You will exercise independent judgment in determining methods and approaches to solving highly complex issues across various technologies. What You Will Do:
Additional Info:
Notes: This is a part-time, 2 year, term appointment with the possibility of extension or conversion to Career appointment based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay. Salary is commensurate with experience. This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment. Work will be primarily performed at: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA. Berkeley Lab (LBNL) addresses the world’s most urgent scientific challenges by advancing sustainable energy, protecting human health, creating new materials, and revealing the origin and fate of the universe. Founded in 1931, Berkeley Lab’s scientific expertise has been recognized with 13 Nobel prizes. The University of California manages Berkeley Lab for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Equal Employment Opportunity: Berkeley Lab is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or protected veteran status.
