The Laboratory of Dr. Robert Burk is seeking a Bioinformatics Analyst to work with a group of scientists studying human papillomavirus, microbiome and cervix neoplasia. The ideal candidate will have a background in epidemiology, computer science and/or bioinformatics. He/She will be responsible for processing next-gen sequencing data, maintaining data and pipelines, performing epidemiological analyses including multivariate logistic regression.
- Utilize existing pipelines to process and analyze high-throughput sequencing data, including amplicon sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, metagenomics, viral integration.
- Manage, organize all bioinformatics sequencing data in the lab. Including papillomavirus sequence, microbiome data, both 16S and other, and human genomic data
- Construct phylogenic trees
- The individual will be responsible for downloading large Fastq, BAM and/or Fasta files for analyses. Must have experience using existing software tools and modifying R scripts. Should be able to generate figures, and perform epidemiological analyses. The lab routinely uses barcoding primers for multiplex NGS runs which require demultiplexing and analyses.
- The individual will work with and report directly to Dr. Robert D. Burk, Principal Investigator of the lab. He will also work with other lab members generating NG sequencing data.
