Genome/Metagenome Research Scientist
BrombergLab, Rutgers University
USA-New Jersey
We are looking for scholars with experience in data analysis, machine learning skills, and a broad understanding of genetics. In the scope of this project, we will uncover how the human genome and microbiome variation map to disease. Specifically, we will be looking at whole exome and shotgun sequencing-derived metagenome variation of healthy vs. sick individuals. The position will involve developing new computational algorithms to (1) evaluate molecular functions of the host gut microbiome, (2) map the human genome variants to their functional effects contributing to microbiome functionality, and (3) understand the functional changes in both leading to disease. More detail see attached PDF.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science (w/biology background) or Genetics (w/computational background). We strongly encourage recent PhD graduates to apply. Programming skills are essential, as well as some familiarity with the major bioinformatics tools/databases. Experience with high performance computing, machine learning, and whole genome and metagenome analysis is desired, but not required. Computationally oriented candidates from labs studying the genetics of psychiatric or auto- immune disorders will be given preference. Applicants should be fluent in spoken and written English.
