Job Description:
A Bioinformatics Staff Scientist position is available immediately in the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division (VIDD) of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Fred Hutch), Seattle, WA. The successful applicant will work with Dr. David N. Fredricks to develop and support the growing computational and bioinformatics efforts within a research group focused on the human microbiome. Central responsibilities will include all aspects of analysis and management of genomic, high content/throughput sequencing data (including 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, and metagenomics), statistical analysis of large datasets, integration of multiple data elements, and generation of figures to visualize microbiome data and results. The scientist is expected to assist researchers with data analysis, write manuscripts, provide figures and analyses for grant proposals, and present research at scientific meetings. In addition, the scientist is encouraged to write independent grant applications and implement a research program in the bioinformatics and microbiome space. The successful applicant will also interact with Fred Hutch based faculty outside of VIDD, plus members of the University of Washington faculty. Qualifications: -Suitable applicants should have a PhD degree in statistics/biostatistics, bioinformatics, computer science, applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, computational biology, evolutionary biology or other fields with strong quantitative training. -Demonstrated experience in analysis of large-scale sequence data, and integrated analysis of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, or metabolomic data is expected. -Experience in high performance computing, and cluster infrastructure support and usage will be highly beneficial. Deep knowledge of mathematics and statistical methods and proficiency using statistical analysis software such as R or Matlab -Experience with a general scripting language such as Python, Ruby, Perl, or bash -Experience working with metagenomics, RNA-seq, and other Next Generation Sequencing data (processing and analysis) -Proficiency with data visualization tools (Spotfire, Tableau, R, Python) -Experience with an object-oriented language such as Java, C++ or C# and familiarity with standard software development best practices: source code control, unit testing, in-code documentation and automated build environments -Development experience in Linux and Windows environments -Background with molecular biology or immunology a plus
