    BACKGROUND

    As the sequencing technologies have evolved quickly enough to survey large fractions of the genomic regions across large number of samples at a much affordable cost, there is a great scientific opportunity to have insightful understanding in various topics of human population genetics and disease etiologies based on deep re-sequencing data sets. This is paving the way for the promised personalized health care in the near future.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The Human Genome Sequencing Center at the Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas) is searching for highly motivated computational bioinformaticians to join our group. The focus of the position(s) will be on utilizing a combination of bioinformatics and experimental approaches to study population genetics and human genetics based on the large-scale data sets produced from the next generation re-sequencing technologies.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Candidates for the Bioinformatics Data Analysis position should have strong statistical genetics/population genetics training. A background in bioinformatics or computation is desired. An in-depth understanding/experience in molecular experimental approaches is advantageous, however not required.
    • Candidates for the Computational Bioinformatics Programmer position should have a strong computational background. A genetics background is advantageous, however not required.
    • For these positions, we encourage both independent thinking and close interactions with other members in a large teamwork setting.
    • Desirable Skills and Experience Include:
    • - Bioinformatics Data Analysis
    • - Bachelor or Master degrees in statistical genetics/population genetics/bioinformatics
    • - Work experience with Unix, perl, ruby, C++
    • - Computational Bioinformatics
    • - Bachelor or Masters degree in relevant fields
    • - Strong background in computation/bioinformatics
    • - Work experience with: Unix, perl, ruby, C++
    • - Our positions requite good communication skills (both written and oral) as well as the ability to work independently and in a team environment

    SALARY & COMPENSATION

    Salary range: $45-60K depending on experience.
