Description:
POSITION PURPOSE
A programmer analyst position is now open within the Human and Molecular Genetics Center (HMGC) at the Medical College of Wisconsin (http://www.mcw.edu/HMGC.htm). HMGC scientists work at the interface of genomics, bioinformatics, and clinical research using genomic approaches to understand disease, and translating this information from the laboratory bench to patients in our affiliated hospitals. This challenging position will involve the design and implementation of software for data acquisition, integration, mining and visualization as part of a team of biologists, computer scientists and bioinformaticians working on genomic studies as part of the Rat Genome Database Project (http://www.rgd.mcw.edu/). The programmer analyst is expected to make a significant impact within this project.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES
1. Work with biologists and bioinformaticians to gather user requirements and develop use cases pertaining to ongoing and new genomics projects.
2. Design, code, test, debug, modify, and document applications for use in genomic analysis.
3. Assist in the development and/or refinement of data analysis and integration methodology and pipelines.
4. Make recommendations for new functionality based on analysis of required functionality.
5. Assist, as required, in the analysis of high throughput genomics data.
6. Perform related responsibilities as required.
OTHER DUTIES
Perform other duties as assigned.
MINIMUM POSITION QUALIFICATIONS
Appropriate education and/or experience may be substituted on equivalent basis
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Bioinformatics or Computational Biology; a degree in Computer Science with a biology background also acceptable. Master’s degree in Bioinformatics preferred.
Experience: 2 years of progressively more responsible experience.
Certifications/Licenses: None
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, & ABILITIES
The successful candidate will have experience in software development with demonstrated proficiency with current, relevant programming languages. Experience in Java and Perl, and experience working in a UNIX environment preferred; good relational database experience (e.g. MySQL, Oracle), or experience in a statistical programming language (e.g. MATLAB) a definite advantage.
The successful candidate will have an understanding of biological systems and be familiar with basic molecular biology, genetics and bioinformatics techniques. Candidates with a more limited biological background, but with an active interesting in expanding their expertise in this area are also encouraged to apply. Experience in integration, management, and analysis of genomic datasets a definite advantage.
The successful candidate should be able to design, develop, test and run analysis tools under supervision of senior faculty, project bioinformaticians, and other investigators.
The successful candidate requires excellent oral and written communication skills; strong critical thinking, problem solving and attentiveness to detail are required.
The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, highly motivated, and have strong communication skills. The individual in this position is part of a group working on the development and use of clinical, genomic, and genetic applications, processes and pipelines and so should be able to work well in a team environment with other with diverse scientific backgrounds.
