Greetings,
This is the same job as previously posted, only a little different.
We've had a few good applicants, only to see them change their mind due
to personal considerations at home. We'd REALLY like to get a good
person for this, so the requirements are a little more selective, and so
is the pay (based on education and experience). Please visit our Web
site to learn more about our research environment.
Senior Research Associate II – Bioinformatics – duration: 2 years –
position# P100014223
The University of Miami, in collaboration with the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, is seeking a full-time
bioinformatician for a minimum of 2 years to conduct analysis of
metagenomic and metatranscriptomic Next-Generation-Sequencing data
from marine ecosystems. The Cooperative Institute for Marine and
Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) of the University of Miami invites
applications for a Senior Research Associate II (SRAII) position in
Bioinformatics to work closely with scientists at NOAA’s Atlantic
Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory’s Ocean Chemistry and
Ecosystems Division (AOML/OCED), located at 4301 Rickenbacker
Causeway, Miami, FL 33149. (http://www.aoml.noaa.gov). This
bioinformatics research works with large-scale microbial omics
datasets to study the biodiversity and interactions of microbes in
marine ecosystems across organizational scales and their roles in
ecosystem function and in diseases of marine organisms and
communities. This bioinformatics research also works with
large-scale eukaryotic omics datasets, especially of coral
communities, investigating genomic aspects of coral reef health,
resiliency, and adaptation to environmental changes such as sea
level rise, climate change, ocean acidification, and exposure to
pollutants. The primary tasks of the bioinformatician will include
data analysis, such as metagenomic assembly, binning, annotation,
mapping and comparisons of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes;
development and maintenance of bioinformatics pipelines; development
and maintenance of databases for microbiome and coral omics data.
Responsibilities will also include the training of postdoctoral
researchers, staff, graduate and undergraduate students in
high-performance computing, programming, and bioinformatics
applications. Qualified candidates must hold a minimum of a
Master’s degree in bioinformatics, data science, computer science,
biology, marine biology, genetics, or a related field with Master’s
degree and at least 1 - 3 years relevant work related experience in
bioinformatics analysis of environmental next-generation-sequencing
data, with evidence of tangible contributions to the dissemination
of new research. Experience with Linux command line, scripting
languages (Perl, Python, R, Bash, etc.), expertise with
bioinformatics portals and software, web development languages and
proper bioinformatic/software documentation is needed. Preference
will be given towards candidates with a doctoral degree in relevant
discipline and demonstrated relevant expertise and publication
record in bioinformatics. The salary pay rate and promotional
opportunity will be dependent on educational level and relevant
experience.
