Job Description:
The Center for Comparative Genomics and Evolutionary Bioinformatics is seeking a Bioinformatics Developer for the newly launched Integrated Microbiome Resource (CGEB-IMR) at Dalhousie University, who will lead the development and deployment of analytical pipelines for microbiome data. The position will entail the following tasks: 1. In collaboration with group members, develop user-friendly software tools (scripts and applications) that enable the deployment and execution of standardized analyses of microbial genome, marker-gene and metagenome data sets. (40%) 2. Test, validate, optimize and benchmark analytical pipelines using a variety of data sets. (20%) 3. Identify new applications that can improve existing pipelines, either by improving existing approaches or adding new features. (10%) 4. Organize and deliver training sessions that teach faculty, students and postdocs how to effectively use pipelines and their constituent applications. (20%) 5. Provide basic assistance to users in pipeline execution and interpretation of results. (10%) Essential qualifications - Master’s degree or greater in a relevant field such as bioinformatics, computer science, or biology - Experience with UNIX / Linux environments, shell scripting and Perl or Python - Experience in installation and debugging of external applications - Experience with DNA and protein sequence manipulation, familiarity with sequence file formats and techniques such as homology search (e.g., BLAST) and sequence alignment - Strong communication skills; experience with teaching in bioinformatics or related disciplines - Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines Desirable qualifications - Demonstrated ability to carry out research projects involving microbial sequence data; peer-reviewed publications in the field - Experience with microbiome sequence analysis tools such as QIIME, Mothur, and MG-RAST, etc. Term: The initial contract term is one year, with the possibility of extension to two years by mutual agreement. Close: Nov. 7th, 2014 Salary: Commensurate with experience Contact: Interested candidates should send a CV and cover letter to Morgan Langille (morgan.g.i.langille@dal.ca)…
