Job Description
The Washington University Genome Technology Access Center (GTAC.wustl.edu) is recruiting a clinical computational biologist for the newly emerging Genetic Pathology Services at Washington University (GPS@WU) This organization will provide cutting edge Next-Generation sequencing services to the clinical and academic community at Washington University as well as academic, governmental and industrial groups outside the University. Responsibilities will include: developing and evaluating new algorithms for the clinical analysis of next-generation sequencing data, collaborating with different research groups at Washington University to design and analyze sequencing experiments, and managing information technology services at the center. Our team currently manages two Illumina HiSeq 2000 and two Illumina GAIIx sequencers with additional HiSeq and MiSeq instruments on order and has access to a 1700 cpu compute cluster. Our group is dynamic and interactive, and most projects require close teamwork between the various project partners. The successful applicant will be a hub of this intellectual activity.
Job Qualifications
The ideal candidates will have a M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related scientific field and must have extensive computational and high-throughput DNA sequence analysis experience. He or she should be familiar with the current bioinformatic literature and relevant analytical and databasing tools. The candidate is expected to have excellent programming skills in one or more of the following languages: C, C++, Java, or Python. The position will require working collaboratively and, eventually training other informatics personnel. Communication with biologists, physicians, etc is expected, so excellent written and oral communication skills are required.
Washington University School of Medicine offers an excellent salary and benefits package. Please contact pcliften at genetics.wustl.edu.
