Job Description:
We constantly seek to recruit highly motivated, technologically advanced, and deeply interested individuals who are ready to become a part of our dynamic research and educational environment. The Bioinformatics Programmer, using standard protocols, applies basic software tools and computational pipelines to process biological high-throughput sequencing data, utilizing established statistical methodologies to conduct data analysis, debugging basic computer programs, and assisting with documentation. Additionally, the bioinformatics programmer will interface with lab users and sequencing core to assist in generation of sequencing, perform quality control and interpret quality control data. The incumbent will also customize applications for in-house researchers. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Additional Info:
UCSD Health Sciences is a $1 billion dollar plus organization encompassing 16 academic departments (14 clinical, 2 basic sciences), 2 preacademic/hospital departments, 2 professional schools (School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences), 2 hospitals, and various other programs and units all dedicated towards fulfilling the Health Sciences missions. The UCSD Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM) is one of two basic science units in the School of Medicine where world-class researchers study fundamental cellular processes and pathways using a variety of techniques from classical genetics and fluorescence microscopy to high throughput genomics, systems biology, and crystallography. Our 36 faculty and over 200 postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and research staff work on the cutting edge of biology, cutting across fields from basic biochemistry and genetics to genomics, systems biology and stem cell biology. The faculty also play a major role in medical and graduate student training, providing educational and programmatic offerings that span several disciplines and provide diversity to meet the interests of a broad spectrum of students and scholars. The diverse mix of ages, backgrounds, and talents creates a robust work environment with challenging career opportunities and a commitment to continued growth potential. The Yeo lab seeks to understand the mechanisms by which gene expression is controlled at the RNA level to maintain proper functioning of cells during normal human development and aging, and study how dysregulation of these processes leads to developmental and degenerative disorders. To this end, novel human stem cell differentiation technologies, single-cell transcriptome and RNA tracking analyses and requisite bioinformatics tools are developed and applied.
