Company : Texas Biomedical Research Institute Country : Role : Research Scientist
Job Description:
The Department of Genetics invites applications for a senior faculty at the SCIENTIST level in the area of computational biology and bioinformatics, with a special interest and research focus on integrated analysis of complex high content omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, imaging, other) in the context of cardiometabolic, chronic or infectious diseases. Specifically, we are expanding our omics research infrastructure, and interested in individuals looking for a collaborative research environment to develop novel analytical approaches to elucidate biomarkers, pathways, and networks of molecules contributing to the development and prgression of diseases in humans and/or non-human primate models. The candidate is expected to work closely with other investigators in the Department of Genetics, the Department of Virology and Immunology, and the Southwest National Primate Research Center, and contribute to the Institute’s research mission. The research group will be located in the Genomic Computing Center (GCC), located in a dedicated facility at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute. The Center includes a high performance parallel computing cluster with over 6000 processors and extensive data storage capability to support genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics analyses of large and complex datasets. Available datasets include existing phenotype and sequence data on human and non-human primate cohorts, including transcriptomic, DNA methylation, proteomic, and metabolomics profiling data. The new investigator will have a generous startup package including personnel and hardware support. Candidates are expected to contribute to existing research programs and develop new collaborative research programs within the Department of Genetics, with other scientists at Texas Biomed, and with investigators outside the institution. EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE/SKILLS: Qualified applicants must have a doctoral degree, (e.g., Ph.D., D.V.M., M.D., etc.) in any biological discipline, statistics, or computational sciences, and proven record of a federally funded independent research program in the areas of computational analysis of biological data, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, or related areas of research, as evidenced by appropriate funding and publications. Demonstrated experience in analysis of large-scale sequence data, and integrated genetic analysis of transcriptomic, proteomic, or metabolomic data is expected. Experience in high performance computing, and cluster infrastructure support and usage will be highly beneficial.
Additional Info:
This is a full-time salaried (exempt) position. Texas Biomed business hours are Mondays through Fridays – 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Submit curriculum vitae, a description of research interests, and a portfolio summarizing past research experience with your application. Application packets are accepted electronically or in hard copy. A completed application packet is a requirement for all positions. Texas Biomed is committed to a drug free workplace.
