Job Description:
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) seeks Post Bachelors Research Associate to work on proteomics data analysis. The candidate will be working closely with the team on a number of cancer proteomics projects funded by NCI/NIH. More details about cancer proteomics projects can be found at https://proteomics.cancer.gov/programs/cptac.

This position involves the development of data analysis pipelines in R, evaluating algorithms and solving cutting-edge problems with big proteomics data in general. Some of the downstream efforts will include integration of proteomics data with transcriptomics and personal genomics or so-called proteogenomics. The candidate will learn about proteomics software tools and perform downstream data analysis that involves parsing the data in the proteomics-specific format, exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling and machine learning. All the data analysis pipelines will be leveraging markdown and Docker containers for reproducible research. The key scientific objective is to learn new biology about different types of cancers. An example of such a study can be found here http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867416306730?via%3Dihub.
