I'm forwarding this from the evoldir mailing list... The Hernandez Lab at UCSF <http://bts.ucsf.edu/hernandez_lab/> has an open position available for a computational specialist/programmer. In our computational lab, we use detailed simulations, modeling, and analysis of high throughput genome sequencing data in humans and other mammals. Research projects in the group focus on developing novel techniques for applying principals of population and evolutionary genomics to medical resequencing studies, analysis of the patterns of global genetic diversity across several whole genome sequencing data sets, quantifying the genetic basis of asthma in admixed populations, and the genomics of host-pathogen interactions. The successful candidate will be expected to work with members of the group to implement and optimize algorithms for various projects, as well as maintain a Linux server.
Basic Qualifications: - BA/BS/MS in computer science or related computational field. - Experience implementing efficient algorithms in a research setting. - Proficiency in C/C++ and perl/python. - The ideal candidate will also be proficient in managing Linux workstations, familiarity with the Sun Grid Engine queuing system, and ability to write parallelized code (MPI, pthreads, and/or openCL). UCSF is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, and the Hernandez Lab is committed to increasing diversity in the sciences. Applications from women and minorities are highly encouraged. Applicants should email a short statement on education/experience/career goals, CV, and the names and email addresses of one-three references as a single pdf file to Ryan Hernandez <[email protected]>. Informal inquiries are also welcome.
