We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Associate Bioinformatics Programmer. The Associate Bioinformatics Programmer is a critical member of Dr. Aravinda Chakravarti's lab and will perform intensive analysis of human genome genotype and sequence data for gene discovery in complex human disease. We seek an individual to participate in whole genome sequencing analysis from our Hischsprung disease collection. The ideal candidate will possess an understanding of the biology of human genetics as well as bioinformatic skills. The individual will adapt existing and develop novel software applications for a growing computing and analysis development team in human disease genomics; work collaboratively with other lab members, but also complete projects on time and independently; and develop computational expertise in genetics. Job Responsibilities:Participate in application and software maintenance work and provides trouble shooting services to user groups. Participates in special programs and performs other duties as assigned. Collect and analyze lab members requirements, design and build data and function flows and participating in programming work, including the implementation of information systems and participation in the formulation of procedures as they relate to functional areas. Perform intensive analysis of human genome genotype and sequence data for gene discovery in complex human disease, and other application and system programming as needed. Adapt existing and develop novel software applications for a growing computing and analysis development team in human disease genomics. Develop computational expertise in genetics and develop technology to support analysis dynamically using Perl, JavaScripts, JAVA, and Cold. Fusion. Participate in the deployment of Web-based software applications, and related information search and retrieval systems. Help to design and implement for the developing web-base applications.
