RESPONSIBILITIES

The Stowers Institute has an opening for a Research Specialist/Bioinformatician to support the computational biology needs of the Zeitlinger lab. The lab uses high-throughput sequencing assays to decode genome information and understand the mechanisms by which this information is read by the cell.

Primary duties include: Processing and managing high-throughput sequencing data (e.g. ChIP-seq, RNA-seq), creating customized computational scripts to transform, visualize, and analyze large biological data sets, and working as part of a research team to develop new experimental approaches, test biological hypotheses and bring the results to publication.

REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate is fluent in Unix and R, has a background in biology, and strong analytical and problem solving skills. Familiarity with statistical methods and machine learning is a bonus.

The minimum requirements are a Master's or Ph.D. degree in molecular biology, computational sciences, or a related field, or an undergraduate degree in one of these fields with two years of working experience in a related field.
