2-5 years of hands-on experience in bioinformatics, with demonstrated work in genomics

Proficiency in short-read alignment tools such as BWA, Bowtie2, and STAR

Familiarity with downstream processing tools such as SAMtools, Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), and Picard

Experience writing pipelines using workflow management systems such as Snakemake or Nextflow

Solid scripting skills in Python, R, and Bash

Comfort working on the command line, including in a Unix/Linux environment

Familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC) and high-throughput computing (HTC) environments and job schedulers such as SLURM and HTCondor

Experience using application programming interfaces (APIs) to send and receive data and/or experience using tools to transfer large amounts of data between remote servers

Preferred

• PhD or 3 years of post-Master's experience preferred
• Experience with population genomic analyses and tools such as ANGSD, PLINK, ADMIXTURE, TreeMix, or similar platforms
• Familiarity with handling non-model organism genomes or low-coverage sequencing data
• Experience with version control systems such as Git and containerization technologies including Docker and Singularity/Apptainer
• Track record of contributing to published research

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• Collaborate and coordinate with members of the network, including wet lab and computational team members, to define data standards, ensure analytical reproducibility, and assist with project goals
• Design, build, and maintain reproducible bioinformatics pipelines capable of scaling across many population genomic datasets
• Align short-read sequencing data, including whole-genome and Restriction Site Associated DNA Sequencing (RADseq) datasets, to reference genomes using standard and emerging tools, and evaluate mapping quality across diverse datasets
• Perform downstream population genomic analyses, including variant calling, filtering, and quality control
• Document pipelines and analyses clearly for internal use and publication
• Develop educational tutorials and assist with website development
• Collate publicly available data and metadata, corresponding with authors as necessary to ensure data standards
