Job Description:
We are recruiting a staff scientist to support the bioinformatics needs at Gladstone. Main duties will involve developing and maintaining scientific databases and performing data analysis of large-scale genomic data.

The candidate will interact with labs spanning all Gladstone Institutes.
Requirements:
The candidate should have a BS/MS in Bioinformatics, Computer Science or similar field and at least 2 years experience with MySQL or other relational database software and scripting languages (e.g., Perl, Python, shell scripting). Experience with analysis of large biological datasets, including developing pipelines for analysis using a scripting language in a Linux environment is required. Knowledge of programming languages (e.g., Java, C/C++) and best practices is also important. Additional useful experience includes the ability to work in a distributed computing environment using a queuing system such as SGE or PBS and a demonstrated ability to create data visualization tools. We need a good communicator who can work across disciplines, and a self-starter who can work effectively on projects with long development times. Please address how your experience fulfills these requirements in a cover letter and/or resume.
