    BACKGROUND

    The Program in Neurodevelopment and Regeneration at Yale University School of Medicine Medicine (http://medicine.yale.edu/neurodevelopment/), a multidisciplinary research group, seeks a bioinformatician to lead data analyses for high throughput RNA sequence data. The Program is involved in analyses of genes, transcripts and biological events in individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders and induced pluripotent stem cells models. The level of the position will be commensurate with training and experience.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Pipeline development and implementation (including quality control, troubleshooting and optimization) for RNA sequence data. Specific tasks include computation and analyses of levels of transcripts as well as analysis of splice variants.

    The role will involve working as part of the Program team to run pipelines and deliver analytical outputs. The applicant will be expected to work and consult with colleagues concerning issues of data analysis and interpretation.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • PhD in Bioinformatics, Physics, Statistics or related field
    • Experience in applied bioinformatics in a research environment
    • Ability to work independently within a research team
    • Experience in analysis of high throughput RNA sequence data
    • Programming skills (MATLAB, R or related)

    PREFERENCES

    • Critical thinking skills and familiarity with statistics (e.g. statistical distributions, significance tests, basic inference), and ability to apply them to diagnose and correct problems with pipeline implementations or downstream analyses
    • Experience in developing workflows for sequencing data
    • Experience with high performance computing in Linux environment
    • Ability to multitask and work to tight timelines
