Job Description:
Join a highly motivated and visible GeneLab Data Systems (GLDS) software QA/Test team, learn new skills and technologies, and contribute to the advancement of NASA’s biological science initiatives. The team is building a data system on top of GenomeSpace (http://www.genomespace.org), an open sourced bioinformatics software platform, to help researchers gain access and utilize biologically-inspired spaceflight data as part of "Open Data, Open Science" initiative. The software platform will provide capabilities to make these data sets available, citable, discoverable, interpretable, reusable, and reproducible. As a junior member of the GLDS QA/Test team, you will help with the quality assurance activities for each release of software as follows:Knowledge of database systems, JavaScript, Service Oriented Architecture, RESTful API’s
Knowledge of omics data standards
Double major in Biological Sciences, and/or genuine interest and knowledge of Bioinformatics or Biological Sciences
Additional Info:
GeneLab is a jointly sponsored project by the International Space Station Research Integration Office (ISSRIO) at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and the Human Exploration and Operation Mission Directorate’s (HEOMD) Space Life and Physical Sciences Division (SLPSD). It is designed to conduct space bioscience experiments, produce “omics” (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) data, and leverage the value of large omics data, made available from molecular networks and translational research experiments, conducted onboard the ISS and other flight opportunities. The GeneLab project is both a science collaboration initiative, to maximize the use of the omics data collected from spaceflight and from ground simulations of microgravity and radiation experiments, and a data system effort to establish a public bioinformatics repository and collaborative analysis software platform. You are submitting your information for consideration to a position that is currently available under the Intelligent Systems Research & Development Services 2 (ISRDS-2) program at Ames Research Center, CA. If selected, your employment offer may be with SGT or one of our teammates on the contract. SGT/ISRDS Labor Category - Software Engineer I The Equal Employment Opportunity Policy of the SGT is to provide a fair and equal employment opportunity for all employees and job applicants regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability.
