Job Description:
The Bioinformatics Analyst will work as a member of a bioinformatics research team on the development and enhancement of the NIAID-funded Influenza Research Database (IRD; www.fludb.org) and the Virus Pathogen Resource (ViPR; www.viprbrc.org). The candidate must have a strong working knowledge of bioinformatics related to genomics, proteomics and systems biology data, biomedical ontologies for knowledge representation, and public database resources such as NCBI Entrez/GenBank, EBI ArrayExpress, PDB, BioGRID, DrugBank, etc. Laboratory research experience in virology or related disciplines, especially related to NIH-defined Category A – C viral pathogens (www3.niaid.nih.gov/topics/emerging/list.htm) is preferred. The Bioinformatics Analyst will work on a project to enhance IRD and ViPR in support for anti-viral drug research, and will:
Research potential sources of drug/drug target, drug-protein interaction site, and anti-viral resistance mutation information Identify sources of relevant “omics” data from public repositories and primary literature Identify the relevant mapping ontologies Design the data translation scripting Develop a strategy for conversion of integrated omics data into OpenBEL statements Design semantic network navigation algorithms for connecting host factors with candidate antiviral drugs Define the functional requirements for IRD and ViPR system enhancements and NDex database interfacing Test the resulting IRD and ViPR infrastructure components The candidate will also be expected to participate in various outreach activities, and so excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.
Successful candidates should have a Master’s of Science or Ph.D. degree in the life sciences, public heath, biostatistics or computer sciences with strong familiarity with bioinformatics, computational biology, genomic analysis and general life sciences research.
