I. Statistical Genetics & Computational Biology: Analyst or Post-doctoral Research Scientist
We seek motivated, independent but team-oriented scientists with experience in the statistical analysis of human GWAS and Next Generation Sequencing data. Our research broadly involves human genetic investigations of kidney disease and is directly relevant to clinical medicine. The applicant will be involved in the analysis of different types of genetic datasets, including exomes, genomes and transcriptomes. Requires relevant experience in biostatistics, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, computational biology, genetics or similar field of study. Graduate degree preferred and may substitute in part for experience. Strong programming skills in Unix shell scripting as well as R, Perl, Python, or similar are a plus. Experience needed in GWAS and NGS data analysis, proficiency with PLINK and R statistical analysis, exposure to exome and RNA sequencing, familiarity with the tools for genome and transcriptome interpretation, familiarity with the statistical principles and methods relevant to computational genomics, exposure to disease association studies, population genetics and/or functional genomics. Must be collaborative and able to work in a fast-paced environment with an ability to multitask. Individual must be team oriented, possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as be able to demonstrate strong creative thinking and problem solving skills. Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
II. Functional Genomics and Modeling Effects of Genetic Variants: Post-doctoral Research Scientist or Associate Research Scientist
We are seeking an independent but team-oriented scientist with experience in experimental studies of human genetic variants. Our research broadly involves human genetic investigations of kidney disease and is directly relevant to clinical medicine. The applicant will be involved in designing and executing laboratory experiments to uncover the impact of specific gene variants on gene function by in vitro and in vivo studies. Requires relevant experience in immunology, cell biology, and animal models of immune kidney disease. Graduate degree in the relevant field of studies is required. Additional skills in bioinformatic and statistical data analysis are a plus, as are the following: exposure to WES, GWAS, RNA-seq, single cell sequencing, gene editing, general familiarity with the tools for genome and transcriptome interpretation, and familiarity with statistical principles and methods relevant to computational and functional genomics. Must be collaborative and able to work in a fast-paced environment with an ability to multitask. Individual must be team oriented, possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as be able to demonstrate strong creative thinking and problem solving skills. Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.For more information, please contact Krzysztof Kiryluk: kk473@columbia.edu.
