The Institute for Integrative Genome Biology (IIGB) at the University
of California, Riverside invites applications for a Bioinformatics
Facility Director. The position supports IIGB???s bioinformatics
research activities, teaching program and computing facility.
Successful candidates will join an innovative and multidisciplinary
Institute for Integrative Genome Biology (IIGB) that connects
theoretical and experimental researchers from different departments in
Life, Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Medicine, Engineering and
various campus-based Centers. The IIGB is organized around a 10,000
sq.ft. suite of Instrumentation Facilities that serve as a
centralized, shared-use resource for faculty, staff and students,
offering advanced tools in bioinformatics, microscopy, proteomics and
genomics. Its bioinformatic component is equipped with an extensive
high-performance compute (HPC) infrastructure. The Bioinformatics
Facility Director manages IIGB???s computational infrastruct
ure and supervises its bioinformatics staff, including an HPC/Linux
systems administrator, one or more programmers and students. The
incumbent will be required to provide data analysis support to
collaborative research activities and make available findings through
presentations and contribute as team member to scientific publications
as well as participate in the preparation of joint grant applications
and reports. The teaching expectations include the development of a
state-of-the-art workshop program on next generation sequence data
analysis and programming. Participation in collaborative equipment
grants will be another core responsibility to secure future growth of
the facility???s computing resources. Applicants must have a Ph.D.
from a recognized university in bioinformatics; or combined degrees in
computer science and a biological science; or a degree in either
computer science combined with relevant experience in biological
science; or a degree in a biological scien
ce combined with relevant experience in computer science. The
successful candidate will have professional hands-on experience with
large-scale data analysis, scientific data programming and high-
performance computing. A strong publication record of bioinformatics
research in collaboration with experimental biologists is expected.
Another requirement is several years of professional experience with
common programming languages/environments. This includes at least one
statistical programming environment (preferentially R), one or more
general-purpose scripting languages (e.g. Python, Perl or Ruby),
experience with web development frameworks and relational database
design/administration. Several years of computational research
experience using HPC systems will be beneficial. The incumbent should
also have experience with the analysis of modern biological data sets,
such as microarrays, next generation sequence data (e.g. genotyping,
RNA profiling, de novo assemblies), phylogene
tics and/or molecular dynamics simulations. Review of applications
will begin on July 15, 2012, and continue until the position is
filled. Interested individuals should send: (1) a curriculum vitae,
(2) a statement of research interests, and (3) three letters of
reference to: Guille Vallejo, Botany & Plant Sciences, Institute for
Integrative Genome Biology, University of California, Riverside, CA
92521 or email to guilleb at ucr.edu. For additional information,

University of California is an Equal Opportunity /Affirmative Action
Employer.
