Assistant Research Scientist
New York University
Assistant Research Scientist (Molecular Epidemiology lab) The NYU Bluestone Center for Clinical Research Molecular Epidemiology Laboratory is searching for an outstanding Assistant Research Scientist (Computational Biologist), with a strong interest in developing and applying bioinformatic/quantitative methods to problems in the molecular epidemiology of chronic disease risk, treatment, and sequelae. The Molecular Epidemiology Laboratory, led by Dr. Bradley Aouizerat, is a group of experimental and computational scientists dedicated to understanding the risk factors for and the mechanisms that underlie chronic disease (primarily HIV and cancer), their treatment (i.e., HIV antiretroviral therapy), and its sequelae (i.e., pain, fatigue, neuropathy). Research approaches employed by the group includes a combination of dry (e.g., bioinformatics) and wet (e.g., molecular biology) approaches. The Laboratory works closely with other laboratories with expertise in animal and cell models to permit accelerated translation of processes of interest identified in human data. Commonly applied approaches relevant to the current position include:
POSITION OVERVIEW The Assistant Research Scientist (Computational Biologist) will analyze and manipulate data generated from both internal and external sources, use, modify, or create pipelines and reporting software, and aid other scientists in the group with a variety of computational tasks. By applying a variety of software and technologies, the incumbent enables the rapid, incremental analysis required to best process and interpret the large amount of data generated in a molecular epidemiology laboratory. The incumbent will communicate bioinformatics analysis to students, postdoctoral trainees, research scientists and investigators, ensure the validity and reliability of data and methods at all times, and maintain accurate and complete records of all analysis projects. The incumbent will identify and develop suitable techniques for the analysis and visualization of data, and build and maintain the associated computational resources (i.e. software packages, databases, or web-based analysis and visualization tools), and will maintain all code and programs used for analysis and tool development with suitable source control. Other research duties will include authoring and co-authoring several manuscripts per year, assisting with grant writing, collaborating with other investigators, and attending professional conferences.
