Job Description:
The Associate Computational Biologist will work with a multi-disciplinary group to perform data analysis and also to develop new state-of-the-art analysis methods, computational algorithms and software tools to address current challenges in biomedical research. This position will also work as a member of the team that develops Jupyter Notebooks, a software environment developed to allow researchers to easily perform integrative genomic analyses that require the navigation and use of multiple tools. A major component of the Jupyter Notebooks project is a library of analysis “recipes,” online vignettes that demonstrate how to combine Jupyter Notebooks tools to perform steps in integrative analysis workflows. By building an analytic “cookbook” of cross-tool recipes, the team aims to commoditize important research tasks. The incumbent will develop, test, and document Jupyter Notebooks recipes, and will train others on the programs and software as needed. Minimum qualifications:
