Job Description:
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is seeking a Bioinformatics Research Scientist in Epigenetics Group in the Center for Applied Bioinformatics (CAB). CAB is a newly established center to provide centralized genomic and bioinformatic analytic services and collaborations for investigators (PIs) at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. You will have the opportunity to work on diverse projects together with different PIs and contribute to pediatric cancer patient curation and survival, explore new methods, develop pipelines, in addition to the routine analysis tasks. We encourage you to be a first author on high profile publication with opportunities to cross-train and collaborate with the Transcriptomics and Genetics Groups in the CAB.
- Good candidates will have experience building, optimizing analysis pipelines using available software or installing pipelines for high-throughput next-generation sequence data analysis (such as ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, RNA-Seq, Hi-C/HI-CHIP/CaptureC) under Linux/Unix environment. The successful candidate is expected to have good programming skills in Bash, Python and R, have an understanding of basic epigenetics gene regulation mechanisms (e.g. Histone Modification, Chromatin Accessibility, DNA Methylation, 3D Genome). Experience with deep learning or C++ or CWL is a plus.
