Job description
We are seeking a Bioinformatician to join our cross-functional team and provide advanced bioinformatics support for studies of age-related diseases. The successful candidate will use a variety of ‘omics data to test and refine biological hypotheses in coordination with wet-lab and computational colleagues. Key responsibilities include:
• upstream processing of ‘omics data (QC, normalization, exploratory data analysis).
• downstream processing of bulk, single-cell, and/or spatial transcriptomic data (e.g., cell type annotation, differential gene expression analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, results visualization).
Additional responsibilities may include analysis of proteomics or other data modalities depending upon project needs. Applicants should be familiar with high-performance computing systems, shell scripting in a Linux environment, and have strong facility with R and/or Python, including relevant bioinformatics packages (e.g., Seurat, edgeR/limma). Those with experience integrating multi-modal data (e.g., scRNAseq scATACseq, spatial RNAseq spatial proteomics) are especially encouraged to apply. A background in human disease biology is helpful but not required.
What are the top 3-5 skills, experience or education required for this position:
1. PhD in Bioinformatics, Genetics, Molecular and Cellular Biology, or related field or MS with at least 6 years of experience.

3. bulk RNAseq data processing and analysis
4. facility with R and/or Python for data exploration and statistical analysis
5. experience with high-performance computing (HPC) and job submission systems
