The successful candidate will have either an M.D. or a Ph.D. in genetics, molecular or developmental biology, bioinformatics, computer science, or a related field, and prior experience using bioinformatics tools to analyze high-throughput genomic data. Some computer scripting or programming experience is also desirable. Familiarity with functional annotation databases such as the Gene Ontology is a significant plus. Applicants should have a demonstrated ability to perform research, both independently and as part of a team, and excellent communication skills, including the ability to read and understand the relevant biomedical literature.
The project is based in the laboratory of Professor Donna Slonim, who has appointments in both computer science and medicine at Tufts University, and involves a close collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Diana Bianchi, Vice-Chair for Research and Professor of Pediatrics at Tufts Medical Center.
Interested candidates should submit a CV, names of three references, and a brief cover letter
