This opportunity is full-time, and it is on-site in Bethesda, MD. Duties and Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be responsible for the following:
- Computational analysis, integration, and modeling of diverse data sets.
- Mentoring, collaborating, and setting up software and computational infrastructure and tools to enable other members of the lab with less computational experience or skills (e.g., post-baccalaureate fellows, postdoctoral fellows and staff) to perform computational data analyses and modeling.
- Liaison and work with NIH/NIAID IT and high-performance computing teams to set up, develop, and maintain necessary computational infrastructure and tools for research in the group.
- Help manage the computational side of the lab and work with the PI to develop and maintain an intellectual simulating, collaborative, and productive research environment and culture.
- Close collaboration with and mentoring of trainees, including both experimentalists and computational biologists, to answer research questions of interest by developing and performing computational analyses and modeling.
- Data from high-throughput assays are routinely generated and analyzed in the lab, including those from microarrays, bulk and single-cell RNAseq, ATAC-seq, flow and CyTOF phenotyping, multiplex analysis of serum proteins, SNP genotyping, and microbiome profiling. We also conduct “bottom up” dynamical modeling, for example, starting from networks of molecular/cellular interactions
Requirements
Position Requirements:- A Ph.D. in computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, biophysics, or relevant disciplines with 3+ years of hands-on research experience with bioinformatics and the analysis and modeling of large-scale data sets.
