BACKGROUND

The Case Center for Proteomics is a recently established, state-of-the art proteomics research facility at Case Western Reserve University. The Ewing laboratory is a new group focussing on developing and utilising combined computational and wet lab approaches for interaction and expression proteomics.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful candidate will participate in developing new databases and algorithms for analyzing proteomics data from LC-MS platforms and participate in development of new computational resources for the center. Areas of specific interest include development of algorithms and software for quantitative LC-MS proteomics and disease-focussed interaction proteomics (see Ewing et al, 2007. http://www.nature.com/msb/journal/v3/n1/full/msb4100134.html)

REQUIREMENTS

Successful candidates should possess a B.S/M.S./Ph.D. in computer science, bioinformatics or molecular biology. Relevant experience in data-mining large-scale 'omics datasets or analysis of mass-spectrometry data would be a definite plus. Competence in one or more of: Linux, Perl, Java, C++, R, MySQL/or equivalent is required.

PREFERENCES

Relevant experience in data-mining large-scale 'omics datasets or analysis of mass-spectrometry data. Experience with open-source projects for large-scale biology/proteomics such as bioperl, bioconductor, trans proteomics pipeline also a plus.

TERMS

In employment as in education, Case Western Reserve University is committed to Equal Opportunity and World Class Diversity. Case is a recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant to increase the participation of women in Science and Engineering.
