As soon as
possible, August 2013 the latest.
Job
description
High-throughput
applications, such as next-generation sequencing, are becoming
increasingly
important in contemporary biological and medical scientific
research. The lab
for Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics "BIOBIX" (Dept. of
Mathematical Modelling, Statistics and Bioinformatics at the
Faculty of
Bioscience Engineering, Ghent University), performs research in
close
collaboration with the sequencing team of NXTGNT, with typical
applications in
cancer and cardiovascular diseases. BIOBIX particularly focuses
on the (pre-)processing,
bioinformatics and statistical data-analysis of the obtained
data.
BIOBIX is
recruiting a new, enthusiastic co-worker to join our team of
"genome
hackers", initially for a period of 4 years. Your most important
task is
the daily management of huge quantities of next-generation
sequencing data,
being data transfer, safe storage and back-up, and automated
data-preprocessing.
In addition you'll also be involved in our research,
particularly in the
"PLASTOSCINE" basic research project attempting to elucidate
learning
processes in the brain on a molecular level.
Your
profile
You have
a professional bachelor's degree or master degree in industrial
sciences in the
field of bioinformatics (broad sense), or equivalent by
experience. Final year
students are welcome to apply as well. Solid knowledge of
molecular biology,
PERL and SQL are absolutely required, as well as profound
experience of working
in a LINUX (command line) environment. Experience with
website-development,
server maintenance (hard- and software) and statistical
data-analysis (preferably
in R) are appreciated. You like to work in a team, but you're
also flexible and
accountable to solve problems independently. You have strong operational
troubleshooting and
diagnostic skills. Proficiency in English is a requirement.
Contact
Send
your CV, motivation letter and
2 reference letters (optional) to Tim.DeMeyer@UGent.be by
the 1st of
March, 2013.
