Job Description
The Genome Technology Access Center (https://gtac.wustl.edu/) at Washington University is looking for a computational biologist with several years of experience to work closely with clinical and basic investigators funded by the Children’s Discovery Institute (CDI) (http://www.childrensdiscovery.org). The primary responsibility of the position will be to assist CDI investigators with next-gen sequence analyses for child health related projects. The successful candidate will work within a larger bioinformatics team at GTAC where the majority of the data is generated. GTAC currently operates four Illumina HiSeq and two Illumina MiSeq sequencers and has access to a 2,000 cpu compute cluster.
Responsibilities include: collaborating with CDI investigator to design next-gen sequencing experiments, evaluating and developing computational tools for sequence analyses and establishing pipelines in order to help investigators make clinically and biologically relevant discoveries.
Job Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a M.S. or Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related field and must have extensive computational and high-throughput DNA sequence analysis experience. The candidate is expected to have solid programming skills in one or more of the following languages: C, C++, Java, Python or Perl. He or she should be familiar with current bioinformatics literature and relevant analytical tools and biological databases. The position requires working collaboratively with several research groups, so excellent written and oral communication skills are required.
Washington University School of Medicine offers an excellent salary and benefits package.
Please send a letter of interest and curriculum vitae to:
