Job Description:
The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) is looking for junior and senior scientists to join the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Biotechnology High Performance Computing Software Applications Institute (BHSAI) [www.BHSAI.org] located in Frederick, Maryland. HJF provides scientific, technical, and programmatic support services to the BHSAI. This opening is for dynamic research scientists interested in working in multiple cross-disciplinary research projects. The Computational Biologist is responsible for advancing scientific knowledge by developing and applying their knowledge to original research problems in Military Medicine. The Research Scientist will apply their experiences in the collection, analysis, integration, and modeling of large datasets using computational biology and systems biology methods to provide key biological and physiological insights in the field of immunology and vaccine research. The successful candidate will support and drive research in computational immunology and vaccine design. The candidate will work closely with multiple research teams to design, develop, and implement tools, systems, and methods to use complex multi-platform datasets to advance our understanding of the biology of infectious diseases and vaccines. The candidate is expected to have the following major duties and responsibilities:
