Job Description:
We are seeking a talented, highly motivated computational biologist to lead next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies focused on the developmental biology of childhood brain tumors. In this position, the candidate will lead cutting-edge genomic studies of large clinical trial cohorts, including those conducted at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and within the Children’s Oncology Group. The candidate will also work closely with other lab personnel and be an integral part of exciting collaborations both within St. Jude and with other world class labs across the globe. These efforts will involve highly integrative studies consisting of comprehensive NGS datasets, including the analysis of WGS/WES, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, WGBS, proteomics, and high throughput single-cell sequencing data. A deep understanding of cancer genomics, genetics or epigenetics, strong problem solving skills, attention to detail, critical thinking, and expertise in NGS data analysis are required for this position. The successful recruit must have the capacity to execute computational analyses and troubleshooting independently, communicate effectively with the PI and collaborators, and thrive in a highly collaborative team environment. Minimum Education: Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Bioinformatics or related field required Minimum Experience: -Ph.D which must include research related to bioinformatics (such as analysis of sequence data, microarrays, SNPs, image data, proteomics data, or biological pathways; development of algorithms, statistical methods, or scientific software); OR If Ph.D with no bioinformatics research, then two (2) years of pre-or postdoctoral experience in Computational Biology or Bioinformatics research is required. -Experience with programming languages such as Perl, C, or Java required. -Experience with Python and statistical analysis packages such as R and Matlab is required. -Candidates with prior publications in reputable journals as evidence for the strength and quality of their scientific training will be deemed highly competitive.
