An exciting Postdoctoral Fellowship is available in the Genomics Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Under general supervision, will work as part of the Plant Genome Assembly Analytics Group and focus on the analysis of data related to genomic projects with a strong emphasis on whole-genome-shotgun-assembly and associated problems. Will obtain plant genome data from internal or external sources and implement, configure, and run software for processing and analyizing the data. Will store and organize results for presentation and viewing by the JGI's collaborators and the wider scientific community and help devise and perform tests to asses the quality of input and output data. Position reports to Plant Genome Assembly Analytics group leader.
Specific Job Duties
- Work with JGI collaborators to obtain Plant Genomics data including whole-genome-shotgun-assembly data.
- Implement, configure and run software for processing and analyzing collected data.
- Devise and perform tests to assess the quality of input and output data and troubleshoot moderately complex systems and data analysis issues.
- Store and organize results for presentation and viewing by JGI collaborators and the wider scientific community.
- Interact with internal and external collaborators to ensure efficient communication and completion of analysis projects.
- Document group analysis procedures and methods for reference.
Key Success Factors
- Ph.D. in life sciences or computer science with some relevant research experience in both areas.
- Strong background in bioinformatics, molecular biology and genomics.
- Experience with: development of computational methods and algorithms, databases of genomic information, methods of analysis of biological sequence data.
- Proficient in computer programming and experience using PC, Mac and/or UNIX operating systems.
- Strong organizational and record keeping skills to record experiment results and analyze data.
- Effective oral and written communication skills to present findings at group meetings and conferences and publish results.
- Ability to interact with a variety of technical and scientific personnel including Research Associates, Scientists and Software Engineers.
