Job Description:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to contribute to our research program in the genomics of malaria biology and disease. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with other group members to develop innovative approaches for computational genomic analyses relevant to a range of malaria projects, exploiting large genomic datasets to understand mechanisms of disease evolution, transmission, population dynamics, drug and immune evasion, and host-pathogen interactions.
Ideal applicants will have a PhD in a relevant field, with strong background in computational biology and bioinformatics, ideally in the context of malaria or other infectious disease, and with demonstrated expertise in computational analysis of large genomic datasets. The successful candidate will join a diverse group that combines the expertise of malaria biologists, computational biologists, and programmers. They will be expected to develop a research program that is original but fits within the general priorities of the team, taking into account the relevant literature, own experience, and advice from the team leader and other scientists as appropriate.
CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES Perform bioinformatic analyses to extract biological meaning from large scale sequencing data, genotyping data, and transcription data for malaria parasites
Research and identify proper approaches for interrogating data using primary literature
Work collaboratively with wet lab scientists at the Broad and elsewhere to make data accessible and interpretable
Learn, use and extend existing tools and pipelines for data analysis within the group
Perform other duties as necessitated by the position or as assigned
SUPERVISION EXERCISED
None
Qualifications:
PhD in relevant field, with strong background in computational biology and bioinformatics ideally in the context of malaria or other infectious diseases.
Proficiency in:
Managing and processing next-generation sequencing data (BLAST, alignment, etc.)
Next generation sequence data analysis (BWA, samtools, GATK, etc.)
Genome biology
Malaria biology
Statistical tools (R, Matlab, etc.)
Unix/Linux operating system
Programming skills, such as Perl or Python
General abilities required: multi-task, work independently, collaborative skills, adapt to changing priorities, work in face paced environment, highly developed analytical and problem solving skills, oral and written communications skills, data presentation skills OE/Minorities/Females/Protected Veterans/Disabilities
