  • Bioinformaticist Position at Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences

    Auto req ID: 27074BR

    School/Unit: Faculty of Arts and Sciences

    Department: Division of Science/Informatics Group

    Duties & Responsibilities:

    This position will work closely with our scientists and investigators to enable researchers to analyze and visualize large complex biological data sets that are generated both in the Division's core sequencing facility and faculty labs. The position reports to the Director of Informatics and Scientific Applications and will be involved with bioinformatics development and support including sequence database management, pipeline development, automation and streamlining of existing procedures and the development of tools to help solve computational problems.

    The Informatics and Scientific Applications group plans to develop analysis pipelines to support biology researchers who have yet to gain in depth bioinformatics knowledge. In tandem the group aims to provide instructional materials to enable researchers to increase their expertise in bioinformatics techniques in a high-throughput environment.

    The group lies at the intersection of scientific research and large scale computational analysis. Accordingly, we are looking for a talented individual to provide expertise both in scientific analytical techniques and computational systems.


    Basic Qualifications:

    Degree in Biology/Computer Science or other scientific field and at least 5 years bioinformatics experience with an emphasis on genomics. Experience with both high programming languages such as perl/python and lower level ones such as C/C++. Experience with scientific computing algorithms and statistical techniques.

    Additional Qualifications:

    Experience with large, computationally intensive problems. Expertise with combining a number of algorithms in pipelines with requisite source control management, implementation, and bug fixing. Close attention to detail, good communication skills with initiative, self-guidance and the ability to perform in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with a lot of technical challenges.

    Knowledge of next generation sequence technology and analysis and with high level programming techniques (java/c/ruby/python/perl). Experience with Linux and in depth software development. Experience with Matlab, R and data visualization techniques. Experience managing data at scale through relational database technologies.

    Must have strong communication skills and the ability to interact well with others.

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
