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. The candidate 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. Duties and Responsibilities: 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 SNP array data from genome-wide association studies. -Run analysis programs in parallel on large compute clusters; integrate, organize and analyze program output. -Manage research datasets on file servers and ensure appropriate backups, completeness, correctness and integrity of research datasets. -Communicate progress on analyses and report findings to the research team by compiling results files, generating figurers, and preparing tables from analyses of genomic studies. -Assist in preparing scientific presentations and manuscripts for peer-review publications to report findings, with the opportunity if appropriate to present at meetings and contribute as a lead and/or co-author on manuscripts. -Assist in statistical analyses and preparing tables and figures for grants to secure funding for on-going studies. Essential Job Functions: Database programming, management and analysis. PC and UNIX computers. Qualifications: Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistical Genetics or related field required, Doctoral degree in one of these areas is a plus. One year of related experience required.Three years experience preferred, with at least two years working with high-throughput genomics data, preferably with next-generation sequence data. Demonstrated ability on significant graduate project or additional doctoral education may substitute for experience to the extent permitted by the JHU Equivalency Formula. Experience in a Unix/Linus environment with proficiency in shell scripting and programming language such as Python or Perl. Experience in managing large datasets and using analytic software such as R, SAS or Stata preferred. Must possess interest in genetics and/or epidemiology and have a willingness to learn concepts and terminology from these fields as needed. Knowledge of web programming a plus. Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, while contributing to a high-quality and respectful work environment. Strong oral and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively to colleagues and staff across multi-disciplinary areas. Ability to manage multiple projects in a dynamic environment with changing priorities. Proven ability to establish realistic goals and deliver work on schedule.

Additional Info:
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. For jobs where equivalency is permitted, up to two years of non-related college course work may be applied towards the total minimum education/experience required for the respective job. 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 School of Medicine HR Divisional 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. Note: Job postings are updated daily and remain online until filled. See more in our FAQ.
