Postdoctoral research associate: Bioinformatics
USDA-ARS in Manhattan, Kansas
 
Description:
 
We are looking for a bioinformatician to work with two large sequence
databases. The first project involves population genetics and
phylogeography of disease vector mosquito species. The mosquitoes were
collected throughout their known geographic distribution and sequenced
using a barcoding approach to identify SNPs throughout the genome. As a
team member, the incumbent will use bioinformatic techniques to
construct a full genome mosquito SNP database, which can be used for
phylogenetic, population genetic, and associating mutations to
characteristics that impact animal health. The second project involves
transcriptomes of biting midges (Culicoides) and gene regulation based
on various feeding states. The incumbent will work
on /Culicoides/ projects including a /de novo/ transcriptome assembly
which will need annotation when the /Culcoides/genome is sequenced.
Therefore, methods and skills needed for both projects will include
bioinformatics analysis, landscape genetics, and gene expression studies
including high-throughput sequencing analysis. The Arthropod-Borne
Animal Disease Research Unit is seeking an independent researcher who is
a good writer and wants to publish.
