Job Description:
The Harvard FAS Informatics group and Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma (BI) are joining forces on an exciting project to explain the brain circuitry underlying symptom domains of relevance to the central nervous system. The project will build on a substantial body of work already undertaken by BI in collaboration with Circuit Therapeutics to further integrate and interrogate disparate datasets. These datasets range from optogenetics and behavioral phenotyping to single cell manipulation and next generation sequencing. Based in the Harvard FAS Informatics group the position requires the development of methods to i) integrate data from the collaboration with publicly available datasets, ii) devevelop models using standard modeling frameworks, and iii) develop novel approaches for analyzing single cell NGS data. Basic Qualifications: -Master's degree in bioinformatics/computational biology. -7+ years of bioinformatics/computational experience with a background in next generation sequencing analysis. -Proficient in Unix, R, and at least one commonly-used programming language - Python preferred. Additional Qualifications: -Ph.D. strongly preferred; -Experience of modeling biological networks and knowledge of the different approaches currently used. -Experience working on large compute clusters and knowledge of job scheduling software. -Experience developing novel statistical techniques for biological data. -Experience in the field of brain research, psychiatry beneficial.
Additional Info:
This is a three-year term, grant-funded, position with the possibility of extension based on satisfactory performance and continued availability of funding. When applying for this position, please submit your CV and cover letter in our preferred format as one combined document (CV followed by a cover letter).
