Overview

We are looking for a bioinformatician to serve as the expert statistician within the team. The primary responsibility of this position is to provide a framework for the statistical analysis of genomics data from a variety of projects within the institute and as part of world-wide collaborations. On-going projects cover a broad spectrum of topics, from the analysis of whole genomes to target selection for structural genomics.

Requirements

Experience in the statistical analysis of large genomic datasets is essential. Familiarity with systems biology data and tool integration platforms is highly desirable. An interest in data management systems, data mining and/or semantic web would be of advantage.

Required Skills

• Solid understanding of statistical analysis techniques bottomociated with whole genome sequences, microarray data or sequencing
• Experience with statistical packages (e.g. R, Stata, SAS, Matlab)
• Good programming skills in at least one OO language: (e.g. Python, Ruby, Java, C#)

Also Desirable

• Knowledge of public biological sequence databases (e.g. NCBI, Uniprot, Geo)
• Experience with a mainstream RDBMS: (e.g. PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL or SQL Server)

The successful candidate will join a team of bioinformaticians and software engineers. We value highly the ability to react quickly to evolving requirements and implement creative solutions using existing open-source software.
