  • Repost: Bioinformatician, MBL

    The position of Scientific Informatics Analyst at the MBL in Woods Hole remains open and we welcome additional applications at https://mbl.simplehire.com/postings/2167/.


    Position Summary: The Marine Biological Laboratory is seeking applications for a full-time Scientific Informatics Analyst position with the Josephine Bay Paul Center. The successful applicant will play a key role in the evaluation and development of bioinformatic tools to support analysis of high-throughput next-generation (Illumina/454/Ion Torrent) sequencing data. In close collaboration with Bay Paul Center researchers, the applicant will develop, document, and maintain bioinformatics processing tools for a wide range of projects. Examples include processing of raw Illumina data to maximize quality; clustering, annotation, assembly, and visualization of metagenomic data; building SQL database structures to manage next-gen sequence information; analysis of RNA-seq and small RNA expression data; whole genome assembly and analysis; visualization of DNA sequence information and associated metadata; and analysis and visualization of microbial population structures. Close interaction with experimental and informatic scientists will be an important part of the job.

    Qualifications:
    • A master’s degree or equivalent experience level in mathematics, computer science, computational biology, or related field.
    • Experience with object-oriented bioinformatics programming languages in a unix environment (Perl, Python, Javascript, SQL) and compiled languages (e.g. C++), relational databases, and construction of computational pipelines.
    • Ability to work independently and with teams of technical and nontechnical personnel, manage multiple projects, and respond to a rapidly changing environment.
    • Prior experience with next-generation sequencing data, particularly Illumina short-read data, preferred.

    Required Applicant Documents:
    Resume/CV
    Cover Letter
    References

    Special Instructions to Applicants:
    Applicants should submit a cover letter describing interests, skills (including any specific experience with the job responsibilities listed above), and prior bioinformatics experience; a resume or CV and the names and contact information of 3 people who can provide letters of reference.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
