Job Description:
We seek a bioinformatician with extensive knowledge of bioinformatics algorithms, databases and analyses, and a focus on next-generation sequencing (NGS). This individual will provide downstream analysis for the core sequencing facility as well as interact with faculty, post-docs and students to help them arrive at the best analysis procedure for their data. Major responsibilities will include developing best practices and workflows for common bioinformatics tasks, keeping abreast of the latest developments in the field, and developing novel methods and pipelines to further the scientific needs of the Bioinformatics group and the larger Harvard FAS research community. The individual will be expected to communicate their knowledge to the students and faculty through workshops, demonstrations and on-line tools. They will work together with other members of the group to develop and deliver teaching materials for cutting edge NGS analysis. The Bioinformatics group lies at the intersection of scientific research and large scale computational analysis and works with many research groups. We seek someone who has a keen ability to acquire knowledge; and enjoys working on a wide variety of projects. These include a wide range of sequencing and -omics approaches, including RNA-seq analysis, population resequencing data, Chip-seq and related approaches, and de novo genome and transcriptome assembly. We are involved in a number of collaborations with faculty groups both in basic biological research and large scale data analysis. The successful candidate is encouraged to participate both in the writing and execution of grant proposals with faculty members. The position reports directly to the Director of Bioinformatics. Basic Qualifications:
