Job Description:
The Carter Lab at The Jackson Laboratory is seeking a Bioinformatics Analyst in computational genetics and systems biology. Our group (www.jax.org/research-and-faculty/research-labs/the-carter-lab) is developing novel computational methods to derive biological models from large-scale genomic data. The strategies we pursue involve combining statistical genetics concepts such as epistasis and pleiotropy to understand how many genetic and environmental factors combine to control disease-related processes in animal models and human studies. We are especially interested in dissecting the genetic complexity of autoimmune disease, neuro-degeneration, and cancer.

Required Skills:

  • Broad skills in statistical genetics and the analysis of sequencing data (DNA, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, etc) are strongly recommended.
  • Applicant must have a commitment to solving biological problems and communicating these solutions.
  • Experience with statistical software such as R and programming languages including C/C++, Python, Perl, or JavaScript are required.
  • Expertise in the biology of disease is desired but not required.
Required Experience:
  • Applicant must have a PhD in Bioinformatics, computer science, physics, applied mathematics, or other relevant biological sciences degree.
  • Candidate should have a record of scientific achievement including journal publications and conference presentations.
  • A minimum of 3 years of Postdoctoral experience is required.
