Job Description:
The Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI, a division of Berkeley Lab) is a world-renowned research institute in the San Francisco bay area, with a goal of using genomic technologies to address important problems relating to clean energy generation and environmental characterization and cleanup. We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Scientist to provide computational analyses and interpretation of large-scale genomics data sets in support of internal R&D projects and JGI user community science projects. This position will design and implement state of the art computational workflows for analysis of diverse genomic datasets, including those from resequencing, transcriptomics and epigenomics projects. You will use in-depth knowledge of genome biology to provide input on experiment design for new high-throughput molecular biology and DNA sequencing approaches, and perform analysis of resulting data. This critical role will report to the user support analysis group lead. Specific Responsibilities: -Use expert knowledge of genome biology and bioinformatics to provide interpretation of genomic datasets, and present findings to internal and external scientific staff at various forums. -Contributes to the development of new approaches to study genome biology, collaborating broadly with other JGI and external scientific staff. -Use scientific and technical expertise to develop new computational approaches to extract and analyze highly complex genomics datasets. -Serve as expert JGI scientist in meetings with external users; provide scientific advice to resolve complex issues arising during JGI project execution and analysis; communicate JGI science capabilities. -Contribute to presentations and publications and train other team members. -Collaborate with other JGI lab scientists on proof-of-concept science studies to test and demonstrate utility of new genomic capabilities to JGI user community. -May develop independent proof-of-principle science projects to advance JGI science capabilities. -May train and supervise other group members. Required Qualifications: -Ph.D in genome biology or informatics, with at least 3 years of professional experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience. -Extensive experience in genomic analysis and interpretation; significant research accomplishments, including a strong publication record. -Strong proficiency in UNIX environment and use of bioinformatics analysis and data visualization tools; significant experience in using integrated databases, and web-based development tools; experience using parallel computing environments. -Demonstrated success in leading design and implementation of significant systems and software in a scientific, bio-informatic or technical environment with a focus on emerging/new technologies and platforms. -Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot highly complex technical problems; recommend and implement actions. -Experience managing complex projects including advanced analytical, organizational, and record-keeping skills. -Effective interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills, including public-speaking and presentation skills. -Experience establishing effective collaborations and interacting with members of scientific and informatics communities. -Demonstrated ability to work well independently as well as a part of a diverse team. Additional Desired Qualifications: -Demonstrated supervisory skills and experience to lead, direct, coach and develop a team of technical employees. -Coursework in advanced data analysis and database management. -Postdoctoral experience.
