SUMMARY:Bioinformatics Analyst
DESCRIPTION:The Van Andel Research Institute has a position available for one Bioinformatics Analyst under the shared direction of Peter W. Laird\, Ph.D and/or Hui Shen\, Ph.D. Depending on the interests and expertise of the successful candidate\, the position can be a sole appointment in either the Laird or Shen laboratory\, or a joint appointment between the two labs. \nThe Laird Laboratory focuses on the role of epigenetics in cancer\, combining mechanistic studies in model systems\, analysis of human cancer tissues\, advanced technology development\, and epigenomic data analysis. \nThe Shen Laboratory focuses on the epigenome and its interaction with the genome in various diseases\, with a specific emphasis on female cancers and cross-cancer comparisons relying on innovative computational tool development and epigenomic data analysis. \nAs a Bioinformatics Analyst on our team\, your first and foremost responsibility will be to work closely with lab members on the analysis of next-generation sequencing data. Additional responsibilities might include: \n\nMaintain and support bioinformatics software.\nAssist research faculty in data mining of publicly available data sets.\nAnalyze data through established workflows and pipelines.\nEngage in bioinformatics literature to ensure the availability of robust methods\, resources\, and data sources to support core users.\nMaking figures for manuscripts\nDirect and guide DNA\, RNA and protein sequence database searches and the computational analysis of resulting data.\nMaintain computational infrastructure and control the flow of samples and information for large-scale studies.\nRecognize and report problems with the data management process and fix problems whenever possible.\n\n\nThis position is available immediately for a motivated scientist who meets the qualifications and description outlined below. \nQualifications: \n\nBachelor’s degree in bioinformatics\, computational and systems biology\, mathematical\, physical\, or computer science with a Master of Science (MS) preferred. 2+ years of experience in computer programming and computational biological applications.\nExperience in such functional areas as image analysis\, NGS data analysis\, and data integration. Understanding of cellular and molecular biology and/or genetics is a plus.\n1-3 years of experience in a scripting language (Python\, Perl\, etc.). A working knowledge of R is expected. Working knowledge of public biological databases (NCBI\, ENCODE\, ENSEMBL\, UCSC\, etc.).\nContributions to the broader bioinformatics community through software and methods development.\nMust provide the names of three individuals who can provide recommendations and present a scientific seminar describing his or her previous research.\n\n\nDescription of a Successful Candidate: \n\nA “team” focused scientist\nA self-motivated and driven individual who is able to exhibit exceptional research productivity and take responsibility for independent management of the project\nA detail-oriented researcher who thinks critically to effectively design experiments and solve complex research problems\nA strong ability to take initiative and work independently\nA collaborative\, hands-on researcher who proactively shares knowledge and expertise with lab members and has an interest in helping junior lab members\nExcellent written and oral communication skills\n\n\nHOW TO APPLY \nIf you possess these attributes and enjoy working with motivated and driven people\, we would welcome speaking with you and encourage you to apply today! \n\nA cover letter describing your research interests\, experience\, and how you might contribute to Laird Lab Research.\nAn up-to-date Curriculum Vitae.\nA list of 3 individuals who have agreed to act as references along with their contact details.\n\nPlease contact Eric Miller (eric.miller@vai.org) for further information or questions\, or if you have any difficulty with the application process.
