Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has an opening for a Bioinformatics Data Scientist who will be responsible for annotation and analysis of fungal genomes and support to JGI user communities. Your responsibilities include collecting data for genome annotation, genome annotation and analysis using JGI annotation pipeline and other tools, troubleshooting the pipeline and analytical tools, assessing the quality of input data and predicted genes and annotations. You will work on problems of a diverse scope; exercises independent judgment and recommends solutions for user support for internal and external collaborators at every stage of annotation projects to ensure communication, user training, data distribution and analysis. You are directly involved in tool development including validation and optimization of annotation and analysis tools and development of new protocols and scripts for genome analysis. Position reports to the Fungal Genomics Program Head. This will be filled as either a Data Scientist level 1 or 2 depending upon several factors, including level of experience. Data Scientist (Level 1) Specific Responsibilities:
Additional Info:
The posting shall remain open until the position is filled. Notes: This is a 1-year term appointment with the possibility of extension or conversion to Career appointment based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay. Salary is commensurate with experience. This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment.
