Job Description:
The Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) is searching for a candidate who will be responsible for performing a variety of bioinformatics analyses related to vaccine design. DHVI is recognized as a world-leading organization in vaccine development with an infectious disease vaccine candidate portfolio that includes HIV-1, influenza, and malaria. The candidate will work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists supporting the analysis of large data sets and providing specialized bioinformatics solutions. Candidates with strong backgrounds in computational structural biology and/or sequence analysis are encouraged to apply. Work Performed: -Develop and implement innovative computational approaches for the analysis of large sequence datasets generated by next generation sequencing platforms. -Assist in the structural modeling and analysis of antibody-antigen interactions as well as implement computational protein design algorithms for improving vaccine immunogen designs. -Design, implement and test a high-performance computing pipeline for analyzing large-scale transcriptomics. -Assist in the creation of a software pipeline and database system for analyzing and cataloging antibody sequences as well as implement data-mining approaches. -Work independently on the creation of custom bioinformatics tools specific to solving vaccine design and development challenges. -Assist investigators with the interpretation of results, write publication quality descriptions of methods and attend lab meetings. Education: Work requires a M.S. in the biological sciences with demonstrable computational skills or a M.S. in computer science with a strong interest in biology/genomics. Experience: Work requires at least 5 years of experience in bioinformatics. Highly proficient programming skills and experience working in a UNIX/Linux environment are required. Extensive experience with the development of computational methods and programs for the analysis of genomic and/or structural data. Experience with web-based bioinformatics tools, public domain biological databases and software tools for sequence and structural analysis. Experience with Perl or Python, R or MATLAB, web design, database systems, high performance computing environments, and statistics. Preferences: -Proficiency in C++ programming is highly preferred. -Excellent oral, written, and presentations skills required.
