Genomics Software Developer (Data Scientist) or Genomics Data Analyst (Information Sciences Professional) @ Dashnow Lab, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Employer : Dashnow Lab, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Closing date: 13/11/2024 (midnight US Mountain time)
Brief position description:
Join a department with views of the Rocky Mountains! Relocation and visa support are available.
The Dashnow Lab in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is seeking a Data Scientist or Information Sciences Professional with a background in computer science, data science, human genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics, or related fields. This role can also be described as a scientific software developer, staff scientist, data analyst or computational research assistant. Individuals from diverse or non-traditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply, including those transitioning fields.
The Dashnow Lab develops computational genomics methods to understand the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases and increase diagnoses. We have particular expertise in difficult-to-genotype repetitive regions such as tandem repeats. We develop and apply these methods at scale to current and emerging DNA sequencing technologies. Our research directly impacts individuals with rare diseases and their families, giving them answers and hope for treatment after a long diagnostic odyssey. The lab has strong national and international collaborations, including with large, rare disease and population consortiums and with industry. Current project funding supports new approaches for diagnosis and gene discovery for short tandem repeat diseases, computational methods development for both short and long-read sequencing technologies, and population genetics.
Two positions are posted. Please apply to the position that best matches your qualifications and experience.
