Job Description:
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), Intramural Research Program (IRP), a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is recruiting a Staff Scientist Facility Head (SS/FH) to create and direct a new Computational Biology Core, located in the Laboratory of Genetics and Genomics (LGG), NIA, NIH, Baltimore, MD. The SS/FH will work with NIA/IRP Principal Investigators to convert information to knowledge in projects utilizing ‘omics’ approaches, and in training NIA staff in computational approaches through classroom instruction. The incumbent will supervise the Core staff and budget, oversee training of Core users, and interact with Networks Computers and Telephony Section (NCTS) to sustain a state-of-the-art computational infrastructure. Excellent interpersonal skills and a collaborative style are required. Eligible candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D. (or M.D., Ph.D.) or equivalent degree in the Biomedical Sciences, and have broad experience in computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, aging, and age-related diseases documented by publications. Experience in teaching, managing large datasets and computational tasks, large data storage, working in a Linux environment, and server administration is essential. Expertise in data analysis using a wide array of modern, open-source bioinformatics tools and scripting languages (e.g., Shell, Perl, R/Bioconductor, and Matlab) is required. The successful candidate will have a strong background and extensive experience (minimum 5 years) in multiple sequencing platforms as well as methods such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, CLIP-seq, nucleosome-seq, ribosome foot-printing, whole-genome sequencing, and bisulfite sequencing. The ability to perform cross-platform data integration is required, and knowledge of the above-mentioned methods is highly desirable, in order to assist Principal Investigators with designing, troubleshooting, and identifying strengths and drawbacks of platforms and methods. Experience in molecular biology is advantageous.
Additional Info:
Salary is commensurate with research experience and accomplishments, and a full Civil Service package of benefits (including retirement, health, life and long-term care insurance, Thrift Savings Plan participation, etc.) is available. All employees of the Federal Government are subject to the conflict-of-interest statutes and regulations, including the Standards of Ethical Conduct.
