Research Assistant Faculty - Genomics Core Facility Director. The Eck Institute for Global Health at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a Research Faculty member to manage a newly renovated and funded Genomics Core Facility (GCF). We seek a highly motivated PhD scientist with an interest in guiding the development of the facility, conducting independent research, building collaborative relationships, and interfacing with a sister Bioinformatics Core Facility on campus. This is a unique opportunity to develop an independent research program while assisting in the university’s aggressive move toward state-of-the-art genome science research capacity.
This successful candidate will oversee the core lab functions and technical staff, including Sanger and ‘next gen’ sequencing platforms, genotyping and population genomic applications, and various microarray platforms. This researcher will work closely with the faculty director of the GCF to develop services and pricing structures, to facilitate faculty research, and to identify opportunities for sustainable facility growth. Salary and rank are competitive, commensurate with experience and skills (starting range 50-70K, plus benefits). Significant space and resources are available, and include dedicated bench space and access to equipment and competitive intramural research funding for independent research.
Position Requirements: A Ph.D. in biology, bioinformatics or related field. Some experience in using genomic tools, e.g. microarrays, high-throughput sequencing or genotyping is expected. Computer literacy, software familiarity is required and any additional data analysis experience is a plus.
To apply: please forward a cover letter, CV/resume, statement of research interests (1-2 pages) and names of 3 references to Michael Ferdig (ferdig.1@nd.edu); Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556-0369.
