Job Description:
We are currently seeking a mid-level or senior Bioinformatician / Bioinformatics Scientist who will consult with research teams and will conduct statistical analyses in a variety of genome scale experiments. The successful candidate should have experience analyzing high-throughput genomic datasets derived from ChIP-Seq and ChIP-chip technologies as well as familiarity with available third party software packages useful to analyzing these data. In addition to performing basic quality control and analysis (e.g., intra/inter array normalization, significance testing, discrimination and classification, clustering, identification of gene regulatory themes, mapping of binding events, error modeling, and sequence mapping to relevant genomes), the ideal Bioinformatician will feel comfortable working closely with individual research teams to design custom software that facilitates visualization and meaningful quantification and interpretation of data obtained. Intimate knowledge of the statistical tools appropriate to task is essential.
Research topics include environmental health, genomics, toxicology, and other topics related to health. This Bioinformatician / Bioinformatics Scientist will work collaboratively with scientists on projects that lead to journal publications, presentations at professional meetings, and possibly reports that influence public policy.
