Bioinformatician – Next Generation Sequencing
This position has been filled.
-----------------------------------
A bioinformatician position is open in Dr. Shen’s group at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. This is a permanent staff position. Consequently you’ll enjoy the full benefits as a Mount Sinai employee. Our research mainly focuses on bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomic and epigenomic data for brain diseases, such as drug addiction and depression. We mainly work with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data which are generated from Mount Sinai’s sequencing core facility. We have accumulated more than three hundred ChIP-seq and RNA-seq samples, with much more coming in the next few years.
You will use the routine procedures that we have established to perform bioinformatic analysis on the sequencing data. You will develop pipelines to automate these procedures to meet the needs of the ever increasing volume of sequencing data coming from our collaborators. You will also design custom analytic procedures to answer biological questions, meet with experimental biologists, and participate in every aspect of a sequencing project from experimental design to publication.
You will participate in a lot of interesting projects and be co-author on many publications. You will learn how to analyze large-scale genomic data and become a master of it! You will also learn how to work in an interdisciplinary group and communicate your ideas clearly. If you are very quantitative in mind, like to deal with large volume of data and love challenges, this is a wonderful opportunity!
My group collaborates with multiple investigators in the department, such as Drs. Eric Nestler, Yasmin Hurd, Schahram Akbarian and Scott Russo, who are world-renowned neuroscientists. We also have collaborations with external investigators literally from all around the world. We are very well funded and are determined to do the best quality research. For more information, please visit: http://neuroscience.mssm.edu/shen/
Requirements:
- Bachelor or master degree in computer science, computational biology, bioinformatics or related fields.
- Strong problem solving skills.
- “Can do” attitude with some hacker’s spirits.
- Excellent knowledge with statistics and data mining techniques.
- Good knowledge about molecular biology, genomics and sequencing technology.
- Strong programming skills with scripting languages such as Perl, Python or PHP.
- Strong skills with statistical computing platforms; R preferred.
- Working experience with distributed systems and cloud computing a strong plus.
- Working experience with Linux operating system a must.
- Excellent communication skills.
Interested person should send his/her CV along with at least two references to [email protected]
Open immediately!
