Job Description:

We are recruiting a staff scientist to support the bioinformatics needs at
Gladstone.  Main duties will involve developing and maintaining scientific
databases and performing data analysis of large-scale genomic data. Primary
projects will include developing tools for analysis of metagenomics data
(from human body sites and environmental samples) and designing pipelines
for next-generation human genomics and epigenomics research. The candidate
will interact with labs spanning all Gladstone Institutes.

** **

Requirements:

The candidate should have a BS/MS in Bioinformatics, Computer Science or
similar field and at least 2 years experience with MySQL or other
relational database software and scripting languages (e.g., Perl, Python,
shell scripting). Experience with analysis of large biological datasets,
including developing pipelines for analysis using a scripting language in a
Linux environment is required. Knowledge of programming languages (e.g.,
Java, C/C++) and best practices is also important. Additional useful
experience includes the ability to work in a distributed computing
environment using a queuing system such as SGE or PBS and a demonstrated
ability to create data visualization tools. We need a good communicator who
can work across disciplines, and a self-starter who can work effectively on
projects with long development times.  Please address how your experience
fulfills these requirements in a cover letter and/or resume.****
