CENTER FOR EPIGENOMICS
FACULTY POSITIONS
[CE1]
A COMPUTATIONAL EPIGENOMICIST is sought to develop an
independent research program in the Division of
Computational Genetics, Department of Genetics at Einstein.
We are seeking an investigator with experience in the
analysis of microarray and massively-parallel sequencing
data studying the epigenome in organisms from yeast to
humans. The priority tasks include development of
analytical pipelines to work within the environment of the
database containing the large datasets, turning data into
biologically-meaningful information.
[CE2]
A TECHNOLOGY INNOVATOR is sought to develop an independent
research program in the Division of Computational Genetics,
Department of Genetics at Einstein.
We are seeking an investigator who will exploit the
capabilities of novel technologies such as
massively-parallel sequencing and sequence capture to
investigate the genetic and epigenomic causes for human
disease, and the interaction of the genome and the
epigenome. The resources of the Epigenomics Core Facility
will be available to this investigator, who will be
expected to guide strategic planning for new technology
investments.
[CE3]
An EPIGENOMICS CORE FACILITY SUPERVISOR is sought to direct
the day to day operations of the facility, including the
use of microarrays, sequence capture and massively-parallel
sequencing.
RESEARCH POSITIONS
Two
COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS are sought to work in the Center for
Epigenomics.
[CE4]
One will work with the Computational Epigenomicists to
develop programs to analyse high-throughput data and to
integrate these data with other sources of information
about the genome/epigenome. Experience with R,
Bioconductor, Perl and MySQL is essential.
[CE5]
The second programmer will implement within the database
environment analytical programs developed by the
Computational Epigenomicists. Experience with relational
databases and APIs allowing access to data is essential.
[CE6]
Three RESEARCH ASSISTANTS are sought to work in the
Epigenomics Core Facility.
These technologists will work on microarray experiments and
next-generation sequencing. The microarray hybridization
tasks will include sample quality analyses, labeling,
hybridization and scanning. The sequencing tasks will
include library preparation and quality analysis,
performing sequencing studies using the Illumina GA and
Roche FLX platforms and assessing the quality of the
resulting data. All technologists will be cross-trained to
work with all platforms.
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS
[CE7]
An ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR is sought to handle the day to
day administrative responsibilities of the Center for
Epigenomics and the Division of Computational Genetics.
This opportunity offers the potential for professional
growth and career advancement as well as on the job
specialized computer training. The ideal candidate will
possess a bachelor’s degree, Word and Excel
proficiency, excellent interpersonal and time management
skills and a financial background.
[CE8]
A SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR is sought to manage the
computational resources of the Center for Epigenomics,
including the design of systems allowing analytical
processes of high-throughput data, effective online
communication by the members of the Center, and integration
of analytical pipelines with relational databases.
The successful applicants will be a part of
Einstein’s new
Center for Epigenomics. This
Center focuses on understanding how the normal epigenome
becomes dysregulated in human diseases, with current
programmatic emphases in Cancer, Neuroscience, Infectious
Disease and Environmental Epigenomics. The investigators
will work within a highly-collaborative environment,
studying questions that range from basic science to
translational applications.
Academic appointments will be in the Division of
Computational Genetics within the Department of Genetics,
with potential secondary appointment opportunities in other
departments, including our new Department of Systems and
Computational Biology. The Computational Epigenomicist and
Technology Innovator positions are tenure track positions.
Faculty rank will be commensurate with experience. Generous
start-up funding and protected time for research will be
provided. The Epigenomics Core Facility Supervisor is a
non-tenure track position. Applicants should hold a PhD
and/or MD degree.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is located in a
residential area minutes from Westchester County and a
short commute to Manhattan.
Please refer to CE code when sending applications. A CV and
names of three referees are required for all positions.
Tenure track faculty positions also require a description
of proposed research goals. Candidates should apply by
email to: Dr. John M. Greally, Director, Center for
Epigenomics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Jack
& Pearl Resnick Campus, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx,
New York 10461 at this link. The
Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an equal
opportunity employer.
