    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The successful individual will provide bioinformatics support and development for an energetic research lab (the Reich laboratory), carrying out a wide variety of genetics research especially in the area of evolutionary biology and ancient DNA.

    Typical projects include:
    • Preparing datasets for the analysis of population history
    • Building, maintaining, and improving an easy-to-use database to support the ancient DNA laboratory
    The database is a critical project, and will involve supporting and interacting with multiple sets of scientists simultaneously:
    • A team of molecular biologists who will input information on each sample and use the database to track experiments
    • A team of other bioinformaticians who will collaborate on automating analyses on the data using a variety of tools
    • A team of population geneticists who will require processed data for further analyses
    This will be a challenging position where the successful applicant will have the opportunity to work with some of the best next generation sequencing and ancient DNA data available and substantially extend their existing organizational and computational skills.
