JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
The Hall Lab is seeking highly motivated individuals with a background in Biology, Chemistry, Human Genetics, Genetic Epidemiology, Statistical Genetics, Population Genetics, Human Development, Metabolomics, Environmental Science, and/or Bioinformatics for Research Technologist Level 1 at The Pennsylvania State University. Research in our group is highly collaborative, with broad research opportunities for exploring the genetic and environmental architecture of complex traits in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodevelopmental/psychiatric disorders, and pharmacogenomic traits. The approaches we explore involve the development and application of statistical and computational methods with a focus on the detection of gene-gene interactions, gene-environment interactions, deep phenotyping with advanced imaging and image analytics, integrating genomic and metabolomics data, and network and/or pathway effects associated with human disease.
Skills and abilities: The ideal candidate will have a desire to work within a team and will have strong scientific written, verbal, and electronic communication skills, such as manuscript writing and scientific presentation skills. Additionally, candidates must have: Experience manipulating large-scale data (e.g. genetic, environment, metabolomics); Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and databases for the analysis of results; Statistical analysis experience using R, SAS, or STATA required and programming abilities such as python or perl are desired.
Education and Experience: Typically requires a Bachelors degree or higher plus one year of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Bachelor’s degree in the area of Biology, Chemistry, Genetic Epidemiology, Human Genetics, Statistical Genetics, Biology, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Population Genetics, Human Development, Metabolomics, and/or Bioinformatics or M.D. Candidate will be expected to follow standard principles and systems and use appropriate terminology associated with a particular field of specialization; participate as a team member in a collaborative environment within a diverse workforce; actively contribute to completion of team goals and assigned tasks; clearly communicate information, ideas, or instructions verbally and in writing; follow recommended approach to assigned work to facilitate achievement of desired results; ensure safe practices and environmental consciousness are exhibited in decisions; typically work under direct and frequent supervision while performing routine duties using established procedures with detailed instructions.
The Hall Lab at Penn State University is focused on building tools to elucidate the complex genetic and environmental underpinnings of human disease. We integrate genetic and exposure (derived from surveys and metabolomics methods) big data to predict disease status. The ultimate goals of this work are to enrich our understanding of the complex mechanisms that lead to common disease and provide methods to identify those most at risk of disease (based on their genetic and exposure backgrounds) in a clinical setting. This is a limited term position for one year from date of hire with a good possibility of refunding. For more information please visit http://www.hall-lab.org and contact Dr. Molly Hall [email protected] . Please upload CV and cover letter.
The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusive excellence that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity, and engage all individuals to help them thrive. We value inclusive excellence as a core strength and an essential element of our public service mission.
