Job Description:
We seek a self-motivated, dynamic individual to work with us on innovative computational research arising from our Stem Cell Single Cell Genomics and Epigenomics Core facility. The senior research scientist will be responsible for solving research questions that are motivated by users of the Core facility. Under the guidance of Dr. Mar, the scientist will be involved in developing novel statistical methods in genomics and epigenomics data from single stem cells. We anticipate some of these methods will also address issues of data integration between whole genome sequencing, RNA-sequencing and DNA methylation data for single cells. To perform these roles successfully, the scientist will have a strong background in biostatistics, genomics, computer science and software development, and experience in working with stem cell and single cell data. This is a highly specialized and exciting role, with increased demands of interaction, consulting, research and technical performance. QUALIFICATIONS: Requirements: -The candidate must have strong programming skills, and experience in working with massively parallel sequencing data. Specifically, experience with scripting languages such as Perl or Python; and statistical programming languages such as R or SPlus. -Experience with C++, and Java are an added strong plus. -Ability to work in a Linux environment, to run jobs on servers, and high performance computing clusters is also preferred. -Good knowledge of molecular biology, genomics, and sequencing technology is a requirement. -Excellent knowledge of machine learning, integrative –omics methods, and big data analysis. -The candidate must have excellent communication skills, be able to interact across scientific disciplines, and have strong problem solving skills. Education and Experience: -Bachelor degree in Biostatistics, Computational Biology, or Computer Science or, a related field or equivalent experience, such as data science, bioinformatics with the relevant work experience are required. A graduate degree in the same fields listed, either at the Masters is required, PhD preferred. -5 years or more, systems/software programming activities in a business environment, or 1-2 years of experience in statistics. -Working knowledge of statistical methods and computational algorithms, as well as fluency in the major bioinformatics tools and databases. -Experience with next-generation sequencing genomic data is required.

ABOUT US: Founded in 1955, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) is one of the nation’s premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical investigation. A full-time faculty of some 2,000 conducts research, teaches, and delivers health care in every major biomedical specialty. The college has some 730 medical students, 193 Ph.D. students, 106 MD/Ph.D. students and 275 postdoctoral fellows. Einstein’s major strength, in addition to training physicians and scientists, is its science. During fiscal year 2015, the faculty’s consistently high level of scientific achievement resulted in the awarding of more than $150 million in peer-reviewed grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Einstein is part of Montefiore Medicine Academic Health System, an integrated academic delivery system comprising seven campuses, including 8 hospitals, a multi-county ambulatory network, a new state-of-the art “hospital without beds”, a skilled nursing facility, school of nursing, home health agency, and the state’s first freestanding emergency department. As the University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore is a premier academic health system, employing Einstein’s clinical faculty and training Einstein’s medical students, over 1,300 residents, 420 allied health students, and 1,600 nursing students annually. The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic information. Einstein seeks candidates whose skills, and personal and professional experience, have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence, and the communities we serve. The Ruth L. and David S. Gottesman Institute for Stem C ell Biology and Regenerative Medicine was created following a large philanthropic gift from the Gottesman family to provide individual investigators and multidisciplinary teams with the resources needed to realize the promise of this emerging field. Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean, and faculty of Albert Einstein C ollege of Medicine has designated space on the first floor of the Michael F. Price C enter for Genetic and Translational Medicine and Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion, and renovated space in other buildings (Chanin, Ullmann, Kennedy) to establish an institute that would set the standard in stem cell research and regenerative medicine, nationally and internationally. The Institute’s mission is: i) to advance the scientific knowledge in stem cell biology and breakthroughs in regenerative medicine through faculty interactions, research support and education; ii) to foster collaborations and innovations by bridging scientific fields and overcome natural departmental barriers; iii) to translate basic science discoveries into novel stem cell-based therapies that impact clinical care.
