Job Description:
The Michigan Center for Translational Pathology (MCTP) is seeking an Applications Programmer/Analyst Associate to work with our functional and clinical genomics research groups. This position will be centered on contributing advanced data analyses to interdisciplinary research projects, including: implementing algorithms for genomic analyses, developing computational workflows, and building visualization tools. As part of a dynamic team, the position will develop and apply advanced computational techniques to learn about the underlying biology and to guide experimental work. Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be analyzing large data sets, developing software, and using strong interpersonal and communication skills. The ideal candidate will be using their computational skills, biological knowledge, understanding of statistics, and creativity to help us understand complex genomic data sets. Proficiency in utilizing and integrating data from an array of public resources such as ENCODE, TCGA or COSMIC and ability to synthesize and present conclusions from complex analyses in a clear and visually compelling way will be paramount for this role. Required Qualifications: The ideal candidate should hold a degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, or have equivalent work experience. Candidates with degrees in otherquantitative disciplines such as statistics, physics, data science, will also be considered if they demonstrate experience in the analysis of large data sets. The successfulcandidate should have the ability to multi-task, prioritize efforts, and execute independently- and collaboratively-developed ideas in a fast-paced environment. -2-3 years of experience in the analysis of large real data sets. -Fluency in understanding code written in multiple languages including C/C++, Java, Python and R. -Substantial expertise in one or more of Python, R, C/C++, or Java as demonstrated by the ability to develop high-quality scientific programs. -Practical knowledge of statistical techniques. -Experience in working on Unix/Linux systems (shell scripting, basic system administration) Desired Qualifications: -Experience with next-gen sequencing data, including functional genomic assays (e.g. RNA-Seq, ChIP-seq, DNA methylation). -Experience with standard bioinformatics software tools and packages (e.g., RNA-seq processing) -Working knowledge of laboratory techniques in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and genetics. -A solid understanding of statistics and experience in the implementation of machine learning and statistical inference algorithms. -Experience building web applications, web services, and user interfaces using standard software development tools: relational databases, version control systems,front-end Javascript. -Experience in cloud computing (GCE or AWS) -A strong publication record. Work Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Work Locations: 5111 CCC
