Job Description Summary
The brand-new MUSC Bioinformatics Core (BioCM) is seeking a superb bioinformatician to develop and use existing tools to speed the analysis of large genomics data sets. The main focus of this position is to provide data analysis/computational services to BCM customers, including members of the MUSC research community as well as external clients.
Broad types of data to be analyzed include those data generated with next generation sequencing (NGS) such as single cell multiomics, spatial transcriptomics and whole genome sequencing. The successful candidate will need to be able to write original code for specific applications and also be able to use and tailor existing software tools and analytic pipelines. The candidate will become familiar with in-house developed code, open-source software, and contribute to open-source software projects. In addition, there may be opportunities to participate as a member of MUSC research teams.
The ideal candidate must be able to work independently with limited guidance, keep meticulous records of his/her data analysis, and present results to clients. The candidate may also perform related responsibilities as required by the Core Director of the MUSC, Dr. Stefano Berto.
