    Opportunity: BIOINFORMATICS Research Associate @ University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill, NC (US)
    Submitted by Derek Chiang; posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009
    BACKGROUND:
    We are seeking a bioinformatics research associate to join a dynamic new research group at the University of North Carolina. As part of a collaborative team at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, we will collect gene expression data on 2000 tumors per year for the NIH Cancer Genome Atlas project. We are recruiting a highly motivated team member to analyze Illumina next-generation sequence data from this project.

    RESPONSIBILITIES:
    The successful candidate will work independently to discover mutations and aberrant transcripts from tumors. This effort requires both the automation of third-party software, as well as code development to implement statistical tests and visualization tools. The candidate will generate reports to summarize these results and store them in a database. In addition, he or she will regularly communicate research findings to other scientists in the group.

    REQUIREMENTS:
    - Applicants must have a Master’s degree in bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, electrical engineering, or a related field. A PhD degree is preferred.

    - Strong programming skills in C/C++ or Java are required, as well as a solid understanding of statistical methods.

    - The applicant must demonstrate excellent communication skills and resourcefulness in working independently.

    PREFERENCES:
    - Previous experience with MySQL, Oracle, R or MATLAB is preferred.

    - The ideal applicant has at least 2 or more years of research experience with sequence analyses, microarray data and genomic databases.

    LOCALE:
    Chapel Hill, NC

    HOW TO APPLY:
    To apply for this position please provide cover letter, curriculum vitae and names of 3 references via http://jobs.unc.edu/1002020.

    The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an equal opportunity/ADA employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Supported by the University Cancer Research Fund.

    DEADLINE:
    Position will be open until filled.
