Job Summary
The Mueller lab at the Boyce Thompson Institute (https://btiscience.org/) has an open position for a bioinformatics and web programmer working in omics analysis and web-based data visualization for genomics and plant breeding database systems. The genomics databases (e.g. https://citrusgreening.org/) contain genomics, marker, phenotype and transcriptomics information with genome browsers, expression atlases and pathway databases. The breeding databases (e.g. https://cassavabase.org) contain extensive genotypic and phenotypic information for genomic selection breeding approaches, which requires extensive modeling and prediction algorithms, with appropriate visualization.
Major Responsibilities
Major responsibilities include genomics and transcriptomics analysis, code development and maintenance for genomics and breeding websites. Knowledge of JavaScript, jQuery, HTML5, Perl, RESTful web services (BrAPI, https://brapi.org/), and a good working knowledge of Linux (Debian), git, and web servers (Catalyst, apache2, nginx), as well as Javascript graphical frameworks such as D3 are desired. Interacting with scientists, molecular biologists, students and breeders working in different international institutions, as well as travel will be involved.
Job Requirements
A background in programming, computational biology, or related field with strong interests in plant and/or vector biology and/or breeding is desired.
