Analysis of metagenomic and genomic sequencing data, as well as development and benchmarking of custom in-house analytical pipelines.
EcoHealth Alliance seeks a Bioinformatician with significant experience in the analysis and curation of high-throughput sequencing data, as well as skills in software development. We are looking for a scientist with excellent computational and analytical skills to assist in the analysis of metagenomic and genomic sequencing data, as well as develop and benchmark custom in-house analytical pipelines. We are seeking someone with excellent computational and analytical skills, strong communication skills, and the ability to work with a diverse, multi-disciplinary team that includes scientists from across the globe. This is a key position at a rapidly growing NGO with diverse, federally funded scientific research programs around the world focused on zoonotic disease emergence. The Bioinformatician will work to accelerate the use of high-throughput sequencing and metagenomics as a tool to understand the emergence of zoonotic diseases across multiple projects, while actively and collaboratively working to integrate genetic and genomic data into ecological and evolutionary models of disease emergence and spread. The Bioinformatician will be expected to participate and interact with scientists within the group, publish their work in peer-reviewed journals, and share their code openly. The successful applicant will be a key contributor to our ‘think-tank’ on emerging infectious diseases and will help determine the direction of our research moving forward. Above all, a passion for understanding the process of zoonotic disease emergence is key. The position is based at EcoHealth Alliance in New York City and may involve some international travel.
