Dartmouth College: Geisel School of Medicine: Department of Biomedical Data Science Location Lebanon, NH Open Date Jul 01, 2024 Description The Genomic Data Science Core (GDSC), part of the Center for Quantitative Biology at Dartmouth, is seeking a Research Scientist to analyze next generation sequencing data and provide biological insight to the results. The GDSC is a fee-for-service bioinformatics core facility aimed at providing computational expertise to the Dartmouth faculty in advancing their research goals. The Research Scientist will work as part of the GDSC team to analyze high-dimensional genomic datasets. The ability to work effectively as part of a team is essential to be successful in this position. The ideal candidate is expected to have knowledge and/or experience analyzing large datasets from multiple major genomic modalities such as RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, WES, WGS, ChIP-seq, and metagenomics. Experience with other types of genomic data (e.g. methylation/SNP arrays, TCR-seq, Nanostring) is a plus, and experience with single-cell or spatial transcriptomics is especially desirable. The candidate should have familiarity with computational tools used for these analyses and the ability to write scripts in BASH, R, and/or Python. Furthermore, the candidate should have a working knowledge of basic statistical concepts (regression analysis, linear modeling, probability). Experience with any of the following are also highly desirable: use of workflow management software (e.g. Snakemake, Nextflow) to construct and maintain data analysis pipelines, software management with package managers (e.g. Conda) or containers (e.g. Singualrity or Docker), version control with Git/GitHub, familiarity with public genomics databases (GEO, SRA, NCBI, Ensembl), experience with genome browsers (e.g. IGV), high performance computing systems and/or cloud computing environments (GCP, AWS). The core supports researchers at Dartmouth from a broad range of biological disciplines, including cancer biology, immunology, neurology, microbiology, and environmental science. As such, the candidate must have a desire to work in a highly collaborative research environment and possess strong communication and organizational skills to manage and multitask diverse analysis projects. The Research Scientist will be responsible for tracking his/her time committed to each project for billing purposes. Due to the service-based nature of this role, being able to work to established deadlines is a crucial requirement. Presenting at conferences and seminars is encouraged, and opportunities for career development such as workshops and coursework will be supported. Primary Responsibilities NOTE: This position is dependent on the availability of sponsored funding
Anticipated salary will be between $70,000 and $85,000 depending on candidate qualifications and work history. Qualifications Minimum Qualifications
