Job Description:
The bioinformatics postdoctoral fellow will conduct computational research under the close supervision of a Principal Investigator and will be responsible for contributing to the research activities and ongoing research projects, as well as proposing research projects suitable for external funding at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI). Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellows are generally appointed for a limited term, usually one to three years. In certain circumstances, a Postdoctoral Fellow may be promoted to the rank of Senior Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellow. The total time spent in the ranks of Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellow and Senior Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellow will not exceed eight years. The position involves studying whole genome sequence data to identify the genetic basis of severe disorders in children. The study will use the latest technologies for de novo whole genome sequencing, and will seek to develop new computational methods to identify functional variants in coding and noncoding regions. It will be carried out in collaboration with laboratories at UCSF and UC Berkeley. Additional research opportunities include the informatic analysis of epigenetic variants in animal model systems, and the role of these variants in phenotypic inheritance. The candidate will have a PhD in an area related to Computational Biology and a strong background in bioinformatics, statistics and genetics. The candidate must have experience in the analysis of massively parallel sequencing data (DNA and/or RNA), and be familiar with widely used genomic databases and software. Experience with statistical analysis tools such as R is a must, and knowledge of computing in UNIX with scripting languages such as Python is highly recommended. The candidate must have excellent written and oral communications skills, and be capable of working in large collaborative teams. Position Requirements: -Education: A PhD, MD or equivalent degree in biology, bioinformatics or a related field -Experience: Previous experience in the field of bioinformatics or computational biology. Prior publications in the field of bioinformatics. Outstanding understanding of scientific background in one or more research areas. Solid conceptual understanding of probability and statistics. -Technical Knowledge: Have experience with bioinformatics tools and resources, such as software programs to analyze genome-wide gene expression data as assessed by RNA-seq. Have experience in genetic and genomic research. Have extensive data mining skills for extracting data and results from multiple private and publicly available resources. Have good data visualization skills so as to be able to display and analyze complex data in understandable formats. Be proficient in various computer languages relevant to the specific analyses. Physical Requirements: -Sit up to 8 hours/day -Stand/Walk: 3-6 hours -Bend/Stoop: Up to 3 hours -Reach: Up to 3 hours -Rep Use of UE/Grasp: Up to 8 hours -Lift/Push/Pull: 15 lbs -This job requires the ability to hear alarms, clients and/or instruction. The ability to see accurately from 20 inches to 20 feet. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position.
