Responsibilities
The laboratory of Deepak Srivastava at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease is seeking a skilled Bioinformatician at either junior or senior level. The Srivastava lab uses cutting edge transcriptomics, epigenomics and proteomics technologies to investigate the molecular events regulating developmental decisions underlying cardiogenesis and cardiovascular disease. https://gladstone.org/u/dsrivastava/SrivastavaLab.htm
Responsibilities
The Bioinformatician will work closely with experimental scientists in the Srivastava laboratory, in order to provide bioinformatics and computational support on a variety of projects. The candidate will be working with a variety of data types generated by various platforms and technologies, the majority of which being NGS based, such RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, CRISPR screens, and single cell RNA- and ATAC-seq. Expertise and knowledge of NGS libraries, sequencing platforms and analysis methods is thus a plus. Candidate will identify, evaluate and implement new analysis methods, pipelines and tools, and will have opportunities for authorships, as well as further training to develop expertise and skill sets. Work will involve several projects with different experimental scientists and the candidate must therefore be able to effectively multitask, manage time, document and communicate on code and results.
