The Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG) primary mission is to carry out large-scale DNA sequence analysis projects in human and other species in collaboration with researchers in Catalonia, Spain and internationally. One of the primary goals will be to
generate and interpret the genome data that will help understand the way a human or other genome functions so that this information can then be used for the improvement of human health or the sustainable and durable generation of nourishment.
We are seeking a bioinformatician, computational biologist or software developer with knowledge of biology to work within the Production Bioinformatics Team. The 2 main axes of activity will be the development of integrated tools for tracking information at all stages of the sequencing process and the automated management, analysis and quality control of large amounts of sequence data. The successful candidate will report to the Production Bioinformatics Team Leader.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in Bioinformatics or related discipline with at least 1 year experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 3+ years of practical experience
- Very able in Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems and networks
- In depth experience with Unix shell scripts and Python
- Excellent teamwork, organizational and communicative skills
- Good spoken and written English
Desirable
- Experience in genomic data analysis
- Proficiency in SQL.
- Knowledge of Perl, R and/or C/C++
- Experience with batch processing on a cluster
- Experience with next generation sequencing data
- Experience in a high-tech organization of several interacting, specialized teams
Responsibilities
- Ongoing development of the quality control pipeline on a computer cluster so as to assure automated continuous operation and integration with LIMS (Lab Information Management System)
- Maintenance of an automated system for determining sequence quality based on signal quality, alignment to reference genomes and other measurements
- Management, analysis and quality control of large amounts of sequence data
- Efficient testing and integration into the production pipeline of new software as it becomes available
- Development of new software and IT solutions for the fast-changing field of DNA sequencing
- Communication and troubleshooting with sequencing and bioinformatics groups
Applications must be submitted in English to [email protected]
Deadline for applications: 30th of June, 2012
