Job Description:
Seeking qualified individuals with degrees in computer science, bioinformatics or computational biology to study gene regulation on a global scale in the laboratory of Dr. W. Lee Kraus. We have a number of exciting ongoing projects related to the genomics of signal-regulated gene expression in various biological models (e.g., cancer, inflammation, adipogenesis, stem cells) using high-throughput sequencing technologies. UT Southwestern provides a dynamic, collaborative, and integrative research and training environment with state-of-the-art facilities. Strong candidates will be proficient in computer programming and analysis of genomic/next generation sequencing data sets, and have experience working with biological systems. Should have demonstrated computer skills in a UNIX environment and significant experience with computational tools such as R/Bioconductor and programming experience using Python, Perl, Java, or C/C++. Should have broad knowledge of statistical analyses. Should have a good understanding of genomic databases and their annotations, a good understanding of the biology behind gene expression profiling, comparative genomics and genetic mapping, and an appreciation of the use of statistical methods and mathematical models in the interpretation of biological data. Must be well organized and detail oriented. Must be personable, flexible, possess excellent organizational and written/oral communication skills, be able to multi-task, and take pride in providing exceptional service while working in a team-oriented environment.
