Bioinformatics Analyst I - Microbial Bioinformatics

Houston, TX
2024/04/20.

Job Description: Summary... The KLemon Lab at Baylor College of Medicine is hiring a bioinformatics analyst l. Our long-term goal is to identify bacterial strains and compounds that will be leads for new approaches to prevent and treat infections due to nasal bacterial pathobionts and respiratory viruses. To achieve this, we are elucidating the molecular mechanisms of interspecies interactions in the human nasal microbiome. The bioinformatics analyst I will perform bioinformatic analysis on human nasal microbiota data and human nasal organoids. A complete application includes a CV, examples of your work on GitHub, the names and email addresses for three references and a cover letter. Job Duties Work closely with the Bioinformatics Manager to: • Research, assess, and test third-party bioinformatic workflows and software. • Establish, test, and improve bioinformatic workflows. • Establish a custom database to storage and process data generated from Human Nasal Organoid wet-lab experiments. • Use computational analyses and biological interpretation of results to review existing data and propose improvements. • Ensure proper documentation, accuracy and storage of all data generated using bioinformatic tools. Assist microbiologists in lab to learn documentation skills and to perform basic bioinformatic analyses using workflows. • Maintain computational resources in the lab, which includes taking the lead on troubleshooting any hardware, software, or platform issues and interfacing with BCM IT and outside software/hardware vendors. • Take the lead both on producing data that generates new hypotheses and on testing hypotheses using bioinformatic analyses with a focus on bacterial phylogenomics, pangenomics, and metapangenomics to generate data for publication. Then, as needed, assist with key experiments to test hypotheses generated. • Write publication quality methods and results for both main and supplemental figures and tables that result from bioinformatic data analysis. This includes appropriate citations, which requires reading both the bioinformatic and microbiological literature related to the project. Prepare publication-quality final figures of bioinformatic data, along with figure legends. • Participate in weekly lab meetings, subgroup meetings, and meetings with PI. Minimum Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Genetics, Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, or a related field. • No experience required. Preferred Qualifications • Master’s degree in a field listed above or a related field. • Three years of research experience using bioinformatics for microbiome or bacterial or bacterial-host research can substitute for preferred education experience.

Applied Bioinformatics Research Scientist

United States (+1 other)
2024/04/20.

We are hiring an Applied Bioinformatics Research Scientist to identify metabolic vulnerabilities in lung cancer for therapeutic targeting. Lung Cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy have been shown to be effective in a subset of patients; however, the overall survival rate for this disease remains low, especially for metastatic... disease. Moreover, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients have a poor prognosis, and there especially exists a gap in knowledge in understanding SCLC and identifying effective therapeutic strategies. The goal of our research team is to understand the underlying biology of key drivers in lung cancer by identifying metabolic vulnerabilities that can ultimately be used as single agents or combined with immunotherapy to target lung cancer therapeutically. Join our team of researchers who are funded through a P01 Program Project Grant! To learn more, click on the following link - https://www.moffitt.org/research-science/research-teams/lung-cancer-metabolism-working-group/faculty/ Position Highlights: • Work on unique, multi-omics datasets to support translational lung cancer metabolism research. • Develop cutting-edge methods for processing, analyzing, and interpreting multi-omics data. • Enjoy a close working relationship with bioinformaticians, statisticians, bench scientists, and translational researchers to establish a well-rounded multidisciplinary team. • Join an institute that highly values computational research. The Ideal Candidate: • Experience working with at least one “omics” type (e.g., DNA-seq, RNA-seq, metabolomics, proteomics). • Preference will be given to candidates with experience in integration of multi-omics data. • Programming experience in statistical program R and/or scripting languages such as Python/Perl on Unix/Linux systems. • Highly motivated and independent researcher with a background in cancer biology. • Excellent communication and writing skills. Responsibilities: • Supports the full life cycle of omics data: experimental design, data quality control, differential expression analysis, biological interpretation of results, and delivery. • Ensures timely and proper analysis of omics data generated by the team. • Maintains or develops new functionality for bioinformatics pipelines to analyze and visualize multi-omics data. • Collaborates on a variety of cancer and bioinformatics research projects.
