Programmer/Analyst

Bioinformatics Programmer available in the lab of Dr. Claude dePamphilis at Penn State (http://cwd.huck.psu.edu/). With funding from NSFs Plant Genome and Tree of Life programs, we are studying the evolution of flowers and early angiosperms (http://www.floralgenome.org/), parasitic plants (http://ppgp.huck.psu.edu/), and monocots (http://www.aspb.org/publicaffairs/news/monocot.pdf) through detailed analysis of transcriptome and genome sequences.

We are looking for an experienced Programmer to maintain and develop new databases [e.g., http://fgp.bio.psu.edu/tribedb/index.pl], analysis pipelines, and original analysis methods to gain novel insights into the evolutionary history of genomes, gene families, and the Tree of Life.

The successful candidate will be fluent in bioinformatics programming, including scripting languages and web development (Perl, and ideally R, MySQL, and php). This job will be filled as a level 3 or level 4, depending upon the successful candidate’s education and experience.

Minimum educational and work-related experience requirements are: Bachelor’s degree in Bioinformatics (Master's degree preferred) plus four years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. This is a fixed-term appointment funded for one year from date of hire with excellent possibility of re-funding.
