Job Description
GENERAL SUMMARY OF POSITION
We are seeking an experienced Research Software Engineer to join our Genomic Data Science lab. Your work will involve developing and contributing to open-source software libraries to support mining, analysis, exploration, and visualization of very large and numerous data sets derived from next-generation sequencing technologies for genomic research. This position is ideal for someone interested in applied software engineering with an emphasis on applications to biological data analysis, and looking to make a substantial contribution to an exciting research area with ample opportunities for development and discovery.
You will build out novel technologies to accelerate bioinformatic and computational biology research and migrate classical workflows to modern data science ecosystems. Your work will push forward research agendas through interdisciplinary collaborations on including but not limited to epigenomic, 3D genomic, spatial, and single-cell multi-omic research.
About the Lab
We are a team of computational biologists, data scientists, and developers dedicated to creating the next generation of Genomics Data Science tools and applying them to answer important questions and solve big problems. We value tinkerers, interdisciplinary thinkers, and people with a passion to use their skills for scientific discovery. The Abdennur Lab was founded in June 2022 at UMass Chan Medical School, is part of the Genomics and Computational Biology department. We have active research collaborations with experimental investigators and funding support from collaborative initiatives like the NIH Multi-omics for Health and Disease ( MOHD ) and 4D Nucleome ( 4DN ) Consortia, the NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem ( CFDE ), and NCI’s Program for Informatics Technology Development ( ITCR ).
