Job Description:
The Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Center is seeking a highly-motivated Bioinformatics scientist to work at the forefront of genomics research on mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder. Will serve as an integral part of a multi-disciplinary genomics research team by developing and implementing software tools, pipelines and workflows for analyzing high-throughput genomics, epigenomics, and transcriptomics data. The candidate must be comfortable working in a team environment and possess strong interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills. Specific duties include, but are not limited to the following: -Develop and implement scripts to parse, process, and analyze genome-wide data sets, including next-generation sequencing data from whole exome/genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and methyl sequencing studies, as well as array data from genome-wide association, gene expression and methylations studies. -RNA sequencing, and methyl sequencing studies, as well as array data from genome-wide association, gene expression and methylations studies. -Carry out data analyses in parallel on large compute cluster; integrate, organize and analyze program output. -Manage research datasets on file servers and ensure their appropriate backup, completeness, correctness and integrity. -Prepare reports of findings by compiling results, generating figurers, and preparing tables from analyses of genomic studies. -Assist in preparing scientific presentations, grant applications and manuscripts, with the opportunity if appropriate to present at meetings and contribute as a lead and/or co-author on manuscripts. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in related discipline. Three years related experience with high-throughput genomics data, preferably with next-generation sequence data. Additional education (Master's level) may substitute for required experience, to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula. JHU Equivalency Formula: 30 undergraduate degree credits (semester hours) or 18 graduate degree credits may substitute for one year of experience. Additional related experience may substitute for required education on the same basis. Special Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: Experience working in a Unix/Linux environment and managing large datasets; proficiency in shell scripting and/or programming language such as Python or Perl; experience using analytic software such as R, SAS or Stata; knowledge of web programming a plus; strong oral and written communications skills and ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team; and ability to work independently and manage multiple projects in a dynamic environment with changing priorities. Preferred Qualifications: Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistical Genetics or related field preferred.

Department: Mental Health Monday – Friday, 40 hrs/wk. NOTE: The successful candidate(s) for this position will be subject to a pre-employment background check. If you are interested in applying for employment with The Johns Hopkins University and require special assistance or accommodation during any part of the pre-employment process, please contact the Bloomberg School of Public Health & School of Nursing Divisional HR Office at 410-955-2990. For TTY users, call via Maryland Relay or dial 711. During the Influenza ("the flu") season, as a condition of employment, The Johns Hopkins Institutions require all employees who provide ongoing services to patients or work in patient care or clinical care areas to have an annual influenza vaccination or possess an approved medical or religious exception. Failure to meet this requirement may result in termination of employment. The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
