  • Associate Computational Biologist - Malaria Genome

    OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY

    We are searching to fill an Associate Computational Biologist position for the Malaria Genome Sequencing and Analysis group at the Broad Institute. The person filling this position will assist in performing bioinformatic analyses on genomic and transcriptomic data from malaria parasites. She or he will work collaboratively with other bioinformatic scientists as well as wet lab biologists to interpret data and make it accessible to a large interdisciplinary group. The scope of activities may range from generating analysis pipelines that will be used many times to carrying out one off analyses to ask a specific question of a particular dataset. The broader goals of the work will be to better understand the general biology and evolution of malaria parasites, as well as determine how genomic diversity contributes to drug-resistance, immune evasion, and other etiologies that make malaria one of the most severe global threats to public health.

    CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES
    • Perform bioinformatic analyses to extract biological meaning from ‘next-generation’ sequencing data and array-based genotyping and transcription data for malaria parasites
    • Research and identify proper approaches for interrogating data using primary literature
    • Work collaboratively with wet lab scientists at the Broad as well as other institutions to make data accessible and interpretable
    • Learn, utilize, and extend existing tools and pipelines for data analysis within the group
    • Submit large datasets to public archives
    • Perform other duties as necessitated by the position or as assigned

    QUALIFICAITONS
    Bachelor’s Degree (Master’s preferred) in computer science, bioinformatics, biological sciences, or related field

    Proficiency in:
    o Unix
    o Scripting languages such as Perl or Python

    Working knowledge of:
    o Sequence analysis tools (BLAST, HMMer, etc.)
    o Statistical tools (R, Matlab, etc.)
    o Relational databases

    Please apply at www.broadinstitute.org/careers and search by requisition number 314. Please reference you saw the job posting on SEQanswers. We look forward to hearing from you!
