    BACKGROUND

    The Rockefeller University is the world's leading biomedical research University. Our groundbreaking discoveries in basic and clinical research are transforming medicine. We share a singular commitment to advancing science for the benefit of humanity. Our collaborative culture drives each of us to achieve a higher level, fueling the breakthroughs for which we are known.

    We seek a Bioinformatics Specialist to join Dr. Nat Heintz's Laboratory of Molecular Biology.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The Position:
    As the Bioinformatics Specialist, you will contribute to work focused on understanding the changes that occur in the brain in Huntington's disease, with the ultimate goal being the identification of novel strategies that will slow the progression of the disease. You will be responsible for large-scale genomic data management. Responsibilities include maintaining accurate and complete records of all analysis projects and collaborating closely with experimental biologists to ensure efficient workflow. This position is both a service position and an opportunity to develop or utilize sophisticated approaches for data analysis.

    REQUIREMENTS

    You Have / You Are:
    • Master's degree or Ph.D. and educational emphasis in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics or related field
    • A minimum of 3-5 years of substantial bioinformatics experience
    • Familiarity with open-source bioinformatics tools/databases, next-generation sequence alignment for RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, bisulfite (BS)-seq, and oxBS-Seq experiments, quality assurance processes, and differential expression analysis/methods for data visualization.
    • Fluency in R/python
    • Experience with Unix
    • Interest in new technologies/platforms to keep pace with rapid advances in sequencing technology encouraged

    ABOUT US

    The Laboratory of Molecular Biology:
    Research in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology aims to identify the genes, circuits, cells, macromolecular assemblies, and individual molecules that contribute to the function and dysfunction of the mammalian brain. Scientists in the Laboratory have developed a suite of novel approaches based on the manipulation of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) to investigate the histological and functional complexities of the mammalian brain in vivo and to understand how these mechanisms become dysfunctional in disease.

    COMPENSATION

    We offer an excellent benefits package, a competitive salary, and a collaborative working environment.

    HOW TO APPLY

    To apply for this position, please make sure to upload your resume/CV and a cover letter.
