ISCB Job Board
Computational Biologist/Bioinformatics Scientist (Academic Assistant 2 or 3) UCONN06269-CT-Storrs The University of Connecticut’s Institute for Systems Genomics is looking for two Computational Biologists/Bioinformatics Scientists to support faculty, researchers, and graduate students in the development and application of analytical approaches to studying genomic data. Within the ISG (isg.uconn.edu), the Computational Biology Core and Center for Genome Innovation work synergistically to facilitate successful genomics projects across a broad range of disciplines represented by the diverse faculty research interests at UConn. We are seeking applications from dynamic, motivated individuals who will play a key role in solidifying the recently established Institute for Systems Genomics as a world leader in genomics. Successful candidates will be instrumental in the implementation of commonly used and novel bioinformatics workflows, supporting members of the UConn community in developing and applying computational pipelines to analyze genomic data including RNAseq, ChIP-seq, WGS, RAD-seq, and microbial data. The candidate will also evaluate new sequencing and software technologies as they emerge. The successful applicant will support investigators who are researching a broad range of biological systems (model and non-model plant, animal, and microbial species) as they design their experiments and develop analysis workflows, particularly those that involve next-generation sequencing data.The appointment is an Academic Assistant position with an annual 11-month appointment. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
