Job Description:
The Bioengineering Systems and Technology group works on a wide range of topics including numerous biological and medical applications. The group is in search of a creative individual to work on projects on these topics: molecular biomarker discovery, genotype-to-phenotype analysis, and high-throughput DNA sequencing for forensic applications. This position will include laboratory work as well as data analysis. The candidate will work in several roles: as part of a small team, leading a task and a small team as part of a larger effort, and working independently. The candidate will work closely with experts in synthetic biology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and forensics. Requirements: A MS in computer science, bioinformatics, molecular biology, or related field is required, or equivalent experience in genomic data generation and analysis. In lieu of an MS, will consider a BS with 3+ years related experience. Familiarity with statistical analysis as well as genetics and multi-omic analysis is highly desired. Excellent communication skills (verbal, written, and graphical) are highly desired. Experience with laboratory methods for high-throughput sequencing of DNA and the analytical tools needed to analyze HTS DNA results is highly desired.
Additional Info:
The Bioengineering Systems and Technologies Group seeks improve human health and performance, prevent injury and infection, and enhance physical rehabilitation with advanced bioengineering technology. Our work covers four broad technical areas: biomedical research, engineered and synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and forensic biology. We develop advanced biomedical sensors, algorithms, and systems that help people monitor their health and avoid injury or illness. We apply synthetic biology, systems analysis, hardware prototyping, and algorithm development to create novel sensor systems to address critical surveillance and diagnostic needs. Our staff are also exploring how microfluidic devices can facilitate the engineering of genomes and the study of microbiome/human interactions. Our bioinformatics research produces software tools for analyzing biological data. These analyses help us understand diseases at the cellular level and, in turn, help us develop diagnostic tools. Within the area of forensic biology, we are developing technologies to improve and expand how DNA can be used to identify individuals. Our group’s work has broad applications for the health and benefit of the nation’s military, law enforcement, and civilians. MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.
