Job Description:
Bioinformatics Position in Epigenomics & NeurosciencesUniversity of FloridaMcKnight Brain InstituteUSA-Florida-Gainesville Full-time Faculty position is available immediately for computer scientists and computational biologists to study the EpiGenomic basis of Learning & Memory. This is a 12-month, non-tenured position that is expected to play a key role in the McKnight neuroepigenomic program growth and management, especially in complex projects including those involving large datasets. Work will be multifaceted and include assembly and annotation of methylome, RNA-seq and ChiP-seq data from a diversity of neural circuits, as well as single-cell and real-time genomics. The work will identify novel gene regulatory pathways and mechanisms underlying neural circuit organization, learning and memory, age-related memory loss and neurodegeneration. Previous experience and evidence in genome assemblies, mapping, annotation and analysis of next generation sequencing (NGS) data (focusing on DNA methylation/methylome, chromatin, or system biology and/or genome-/exome- sequencing and related whole genome association studies) are required.
The McKnight Brain Institute is the hub of the neuroscience community at the University of Florida. Thus, these are ideal positions for motivated, self-driven scientists who would like to be integrated into interdisciplinary programs, and interact with both fundamental and clinical researchers. The High Performance Computer Center and growing Genomic programs also provide supreme opportunities for professional growth.
Qualifications: Ideal candidates should have 1) a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics/Genome or Computer Science or related field. 2) Experience in genome and methylome, transcriptome assemblies software and/or mathematical modeling. 3) Strong skills in at least one programming language (Python, JAVA or C/C++, MATLAB, R, PERL) and/or large-scale data modeling and databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL).
Please provide your CV, names of three references and evidence of your experience in the field of bioinformatics and/or computational biology and/or computer sciences. A proficiency in database development and maintenance, together with an ability to write custom scripts and/or algorithm development for informatics/visualization is a plus. It would be particularly helpful to demonstrate administration experience within a Linux environment and/or experience in developing multi-threaded program or programming for a cluster environment as well as knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
