Job Description:
The Emory Clinical Cardiovascular Research Institute (ECCRI) is seeking a biostatistician/bioinformatics analyst to conduct analyses in support of a variety of -omics studies that investigate the role of genetic and environmental factors on cardiovascular disease. The candidate will have a unique opportunity to work with leading scientists and to progress his/her career in one of the nation's top research universities.

The successful candidate will participate in the analysis of large, high-throughput ‘omics datasets such as genomics, gene expression (mRNA-Seq, Microarray), metabolomics, via the application of bioinformatics and statistical methods. Projects may also include analyses of other data types, such as longitudinal data, survival data, using conventional statistical methods. Data analysis will be carried out using off the shelf bioinformatics analyses techniques as well as in house methodologies. Data management, analysis, interpretation, and documentation leading up to publications will be necessary for successful progression of projects.

Key responsibilities:

  • Perform statistical analysis of omics datasets participate in research meetings. Utilize appropriate methods and keep up with the literature on rapidly evolving data analysis tool sets. Interpret results and communicate the results with researchers.
