BACKGROUND

The University of Texas at Austin seeks two bioinformaticians with broad experience to join their new Bioinformatics Team (BioITeam). You will participate directly in diverse grant-funded research projects in neurobiology, evolutionary biology, microbiology, human genetics and disease, systems and synthetic biology. You will also have the opportunity to train students, faculty and other staff and contribute to university-wide bioinformatics infrastructure development.

One position will be focused generally around projects in non-model systems, while the other focuses on variant analysis and quantitative analysis (e.g. differential expression) in model systems.

The BioITeam is transforming bioinformatic research and education at UT. Typical research assignments last 6 to 12 months; you'll be managing two or three projects in parallel with different research groups. You have access to not one but two and soon three Top-500 supercomputing clusters at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. You'll never be resource constrained in this thriving environment. Top quality candidates with good breadth as well as significant depth in a few areas are preferred.
