Opportunity: Geneticist / Bioinformatician for Genomics Modeling and Mining @ Parabon NanoLabs -- Reston, VA (US)
Submitted by Paula Armentrout; posted on Friday, March 25, 2016
RESPONSIBILITIES
A geneticist/bioinformatician is sought to develop statistical models to predict medical outcomes and physical traits from genomic data, make kinship inferences from DNA, and discover the genetic variants that inform such models via genomic data mining. Successful hires will join an interdisciplinary research group pursuing ambitious, long-term projects aimed at achieving major scientific advances in the fields of medicine and forensics.
In this position, scientists will validate and manage genomic datasets; statistically analyze phenotypic, genotypic, and environmental data; and create predictive models for both medical and forensic use. The Geneticist/Bioinformatician is also expected to be capable of developing new methodologies, tools, and pipelines, as well as driving the identification and implementation of emerging technologies and statistical tools. This position is also expected to provide support for computational biology and genomics experts towards development of computational tools such as data analysis pipelines. The scientist will assist with the development of new project ideas and subsequent writing of proposals to submit for funding. Finally, scientists in this position will support the company's drug development teams with the creation of genetically informed, personalized therapeutics.
