The Biostatistics Branch is seeking scientists in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology. Candidates will be considered for Senior Investigator, Tenure-Track Investigator or Staff Scientist, depending upon qualifications (unless they explicitly specify a particular type of appointment).
As a Senior Investigator, the incumbent will develop and direct a strong research program including both investigator-initiated and collaborative research in the general area of bioinformatics and computational biology, particularly as related to biological networks, analysis of high-dimensional data, proteomics, comparative and functional genomics, gene expression, statistical genetics, and epigenetics. Responsibilities would also include assembling and managing a bioinformatics team to provide bioinformatics infrastructure and innovative data analysis approaches in support of intramural research aimed at understanding biological responses to environmental stressors in the context of cell biology, animal toxicology, clinical research and epidemiology.
The Senior Investigator will provide leadership in bioinformatics to new staff and to existing staff, consisting of a staff scientist and tenure-track investigator. Ideal candidates will have a proven history of individual and collaborative research excellence and an international reputation in a specific area within the broad general of bioinformatics and computational biology, with strong focus on biological applications.
The Tenure-Track investigator should have a strong publication record and robust and original research plans in the general area of bioinformatics noted above.
The Staff Scientist will work with the National Toxicology Program to assist in the identification of genes governing biological responses to environmental exposures, the evaluation and interpretation of biological response data from high-throughput toxicity screening assays, and the analysis of gene expression data from microarray studies. The ideal applicant will have experience in both bioinformatics and statistical genetics methodology.
All applicants must possess a Ph.D. or equivalent. Salary is commensurate with experience and level of accomplishments. Applications from women and members of minority groups are particularly welcome. To apply, submit a curriculum vitae, bibliography, brief statement of research interests and arrange for three letters of recommendation to the address below. Positions open until filled.
