This job is no longer available
There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
We are seeking a junior bioinformatician for the Tisch Cancer Institute Bioinformatics for Next Generation Sequencing (BiNGS) shared resource facility, to lead genomics, transcriptomics and epigenetics data analysis projects related to Cancer and Developmental biology. The mission of BiNGS is to enhance scholarship and facilitate NGS data analysis in the ISMMS community by providing access to state-of-the-art tools and training. The BiNGS staff support a broad range of biostatistics and bioinformatics analyses for multiple applications spanning bulk ATAC-, RNA-, and ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN and HiC, single cell ATAC- and RNA-seq, single cell Multiome and Spatial Transcriptomics, WGS and WES. BiNGS further provides services for data management, bioinformatics tools development, access to biocomputing resources, web-based app development, and advanced computational training in data analysis. We are focused on delivering a comprehensive, rapid and user-friendly service. More specifically, we are working on multiple projects together with PIs in the Tisch Cancer institute and the broader Mount Sinai community to analyze NGS related datasets. For example, we are working to understand the role of the histone variant MacroH2A in the regulation of chromatin organization in melanoma utilizing micro-C analysis, enhancers analysis, transcriptomic analysis, open chromatin analysis and transcription factor network analysis; in another project, we are working to develop a computational classifier for risk assessments from cancer patients' biopsies, utilizing WES and ultra-low pass WGS and ML tools. We are seeking a highly motivated junior Bioinformatic Scientist who wants the opportunity to significantly impact the growth and success of our research programs, the bioinformatics core and the services we provide. The candidate will work closely with TCI investigators to facilitate and enhance the processing of their projects. Commitment to accuracy, high attention-to-details, and ability to work independently are critical competencies for the role. The ability to lead projects is a must. We feel that BiNGS presents a unique opportunity for junior bioinformaticians who seek to work with like-minded professionals to expand their data analysis skills; their understanding of transcriptional and epigenetic programs and their role in driving cancer initiation, progression and metastasis, and other diseases; their ability to communicate science clearly and efficiently.
