Job Description:
The Division of Medical Genetics currently has an opportunity for a Research Scientist 2 position for a Bioinformatics Analyst in the Hawkins lab. The lab conducts a number of different next-generation sequencing-based experiments that require skills in large-scale data processing and integrative analysis. The ideal candidate will work independently to perform data processing, answer key questions from a computational biology approach, interpret experimental results, guide lab members through bioinformatic methods and analyses, and prepare results of research for presentation or publication. The individual in this position will collaborate with the Investigator, postdoctoral fellows, staff and students to implement and develop computational methods and tools to assess various epigenomic changes using next-generation sequencing technology. Responsibilities:
