Postdoctoral Position as a Bioinformatics Research Associate
UNC-Charlotte’s Bioinformatics and Genomics Department is engaged in a
multi-year expansion. In addition to the new $35M Bioinformatics Building
the department has the leadership role in Bioinformatics in the North
Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) in Kannapolis. NCRC is a $1B research park
that is becoming home to academic and industrial research. As a whole our
programs goals are to use these platforms to perform research and teaching
in the fields that bioinformatics touches upon including but not limited
to: defense, agriculture, health care, and natural sciences.

We seek a Bioinformatics Research Associate with M.S. or Ph.D. in a
technical field and experience in the following: Java, R, GIT, KML,
biomedicine, evolution, and visual analytics. The bioinformatics research
associate will initially work closely with stakeholders in studies of the
evolution of infectious diseases to integrate software components to each
other into a novel workflow. The research associate will also prepare
demonstrations as well as written and pictorial presentations for use by
supervisors.
We seek a creative individual who will bring novel skills to a scientific
team and contribute to existing and new projects with those skills. The
authority and discretion the individual has will be a function of
conclusions made in design meetings. Action items and milestones will be
assigned in meetings and follow up will be expected.
