Job Description:
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member to perform research and development in environmental and medical microbiome using molecular and bioinformatics techniques. This position is in the Biosciences and Biotechnology Division. Essential Duties: - Conduct research and development in microorganism analysis using microbiological and molecular detection techniques such as whole metagenome DNA sequencing, amplicon sequencing, RNA-Seq, DNA microarray. - Design, implement, and analyze techniques and computing approaches to enhance sensitivity of microbial detection via sequencing and microarray protocols. - Contribute to and actively participate in the conception, design, and execution of research to address defined problems. - Publish research results in peer-reviewed scientific or technical journals and present results at external conferences, seminars and/or technical meetings. - Organize, analyze, and present data from research at seminars, technical meetings, national and international conferences. - Collaborate with others in a multidisciplinary team environment and other national laboratories and industry to accomplish research goals. - Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to the Laboratory. - Maintain an accurate and detailed laboratory notebook including complete records of experiments. - Perform other duties as assigned. Qualifications: - Recent PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular microbiology, biological sciences or related field. - Experience in molecular techniques including sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction and amplification, DNA sequencing, DNA microarrays and multiplexed assays. - Experience in developing and applying new bioinformatics software tools to solve problems in computational genomics. - Experience with programming skills in some aspect of computational biology. - Experience in genomic sequence analysis. - Ability as an innovative experimentalist with a broad range of experience in experimental design, techniques, and execution; ability to understand and analyze experimental results and work as part of solution-development teams that span hardware, software, and domain applications. - Ability to develop independent research projects as demonstrated through publication of peer-reviewed literature. - Proficient verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment and present and explain technical information. Desired Qualifications: - Experience with scientific computing applications for genomics and working knowledge of Unix/Python/PERL/R/Bioconductor. - Experience with metagenomic sequence analysis and microarray probe design. - Visualization and data analysis experience.
