Software Engineer
Computational Biologist
Bioinformatician
For computational analyses and prediction of nucleosome positioning, transcription factor binding and other aspects of transcriptional regulation, a Software Engineer/Computational Biologist/Bioinformatician position is available immediately at the Beadle Center for Biotechnology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Applicants proficient in computation would participate in a multidisciplinary Team working on the genomewise predictions of nucleosome positioning sequences, high-throughput chromatin immunoprecipitation and next-generation sequencing project sponsored by the NSF.
The candidate would refine computational models of nucleosome localization, analyze experimentally determined transcription factor binding sites, and contribute to the development of network models of transcriptional regulation.
Candidates ideally with Master's in bioinformatics, biology, computer science, statistics, mathematics, or physics are encouraged to apply.
Type: temporary contract for 7 months
Location: Lincoln, NE
Salary: $40,000 - $50,000
Education: Masters Degree in Computer Science, any scientific or engineering discipline
Experience required: 2 years
Category: Informatics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Software development
Short Description: Computational Biology lab seeks software developer/bioinformatician
Required skills: PERL, LINUX.
If you are productive in designing, developing, debugging, testing, documenting, and maintaining novel software applications as well as installing external software, primarily in PERL, this is a great job for you! Additional experience in academic or industrial software development, optimization, network analysis, C, or C++ is a plus. Knowledge of computational biology/bioinformatics is not necessary but a major plus.
