BACKGROUND

The Bioinformatics Research Laboratory (BRL) http://www.brl.bcm.tmc.edu, directed by Prof. Aleksandar Milosavljevic, has an immediate opening for a highly motivated bioinformatics analyst in the area of genomic and epigenomic informatics. BRL functions as the Epigenomic Data Analysis and Coordination Center for the recently launched NIH Epigenomics Roadmap Initiative. (http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-09/notd-na092908.php)

RESPONSIBILITIES

The bioinformatician will participate in programming and data processing to support generation of reference epigenomes and in data analysis projects aimed at understanding the biology of genomes and epigenomes. The candidate must have experience in programming and high-throughput analysis of biological data, preferably of genomic data.

This position represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the informatics component of the NIH Epigenomics Roadmap Initiative. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in multiple projects involving integration of high-volume data sets, design and implementation of data processing pipelines, and analyses of genomic and epigenomic data. Typical data processing pipelines will be implemented using a programming language such as Ruby and the Genboree Application Programming Interface. http://www.genboree.org

REQUIREMENTS

Candidates at various levels of formal training, including BS, MS, and PhD levels are acceptable.
Programming experience in a UNIX/Linux environment using programming languages such as Perl, Python, or Ruby, and relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL is required.
The candidate should have experience in high-throughput data analysis and be familiar with widely used genomic databases and software.
In addition, the candidate must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be capable of working within a team of biologists and programmers. Due to the nature of the position, the candidate must have excellent written and verbal skills in English.

PREFERENCES

Experience with object-oriented programming in Java and experience with internet programming (JavaScript, Ajax, HTML, Apache, Tomcat) is desirable.

HOW TO APPLY

A CV and names of three references are required for the initial application. If your CV is selected for further scrutiny we will request letters from those specified as your references and we will ask you to complete an online quiz before we proceed further with a telephone interview. If you are invited to Baylor College of Medicine for a formal interview you will be asked to complete a comprehensive programming test consisting of three questions which must be completed within three hours in addition to meeting the lab director and relevant lab members.
