Job Description:
Primary Responsibilities: -Provide computational support for internal bioinformatics objectives, as well as for ongoing customer-driven projects. This will include support for experiment design, development and optimization of metagenomics/proteomics algorithms and workflows, data management recommendations, end user trainings, and client interactions. -Lead and/or support technical tasks or projects within a collaborative teaming environment. The Bioinformatics Specialist will work within a team of molecular biologists, forensic scientists, biochemists, bioinformaticians, database managers, statisticians, and project managers to provide solutions to maximize the utility, confidence, and rapid reporting of results for large genomic/proteomic data sets. -Support projects through employing efficient and accurate data evaluation techniques, placing levels of statistical confidence on data output, and clearly reporting results. -Interact with clients (on and off-site) and present technical data through presentations and report writing. -Help grow the biological sciences business area through the successful and timely execution of projects, positive interactions with clients, recognition of opportunities for follow-on work with existing clients, establishment of new opportunities with alternate clients, proposal development and writing support, and maintaining a presence at marketing and business development meetings/conferences. -Travel to project and business development meetings as needed. -Report directly to the biology Business Area Manager under the advisement of the Director of Biological Sciences. Education: PhD in bioinformatics or equivalent with preferred dissertation research focused on metagenomics, microbial genomics, or proteomics Years of experience: One year of postdoctoral research in a demonstrably relevant area Required Skills: -Experience processing large genomic or proteomic data sets; -Experience working in a Linux environment, running a cluster using SGE and BASH shell scripting is desirable; -Proficiency in scripting and programming languages (e.g. C++, R, and/or Python desirable); -Ability to code from requirement, functional, and/or design documents -Familiarity with machine learning, Git, and agile software development is a plus; -Strong oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills and abilities; -Demonstrated time management and completion of tasks to a definite deadline -Preferably one year of postdoctoral research in a demonstrably relevant area; and -Candidates must be willing to submit and be eligible for a DoD secret clearance (i.e., must be subject to and pass a background investigation and must be a U.S. citizen).
