Job Description:
An entry level bioinformatics engineer position is open at JCVI in La Jolla. The successful candidate will be under the supervision of Dr. Chris Dupont in the Microbial and Environmental Groups Each of the projects involves metagenomic and metatranscriptomic examinations of microbial communities found in natural systems or the human body. The successful candidate should have a MS degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, engineering, or a similar program. While on-job training in specific techniques is expected, a familiarity with the computational techniques and theory in the sequencing based analysis of microbial communities is necessary. Specific skill sets of interest include machine learning based data mining and the analysis of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes. Strong communication and organizational skills are also required. Qualifications: The successful candidate with have at least an MS degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, or a similar program. While on-job training in specific techniques is expected, a familiarity with the computational techniques and theory in the sequencing based analysis of microbial communities is necessary. Specific skill sets of interest include metagenome assembly and the analysis of loci-based metagenomes and metatranscriptomes (eg. 16S ribotag sequencing). Strong communication and organizational skills are also required. Competency in one of the standard informatics coding languages (perl, python) is necessary.
