Job Description:
Under direct supervision of the PI, the incumbent will perform programming and/or assist in design and analysis of systems to decipher the role of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Copy Number Variation (CNVs) in psychiatric disorders. The incumbent will be responsible for maintaining a computational pipeline for processing and analyzing large volumes of genomic data. The incumbent will also be responsible for reporting the performance along with the specificity and sensitivity of each of these platforms so that they can be customized towards the overall goal of the project. Additionally, the incumbent will help develop algorithms for data cleaning and annotation of genetic variants. The incumbent will also be required to coordinate closely with members of an international team of scientists at other institutions to carry out the analysis of large datasets. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
