• Support the Informatics team with data management and analysis.
• Collaborate with other members of the informatics and selection groups. 
• Maintain records in the form of notebooks, technical reports, summaries, protocols, and quantitative analyses.
• Analyze sequencing data by running and modifying linux scripts.  Our programs are written mostly in python, C, and awk.
• Loading biological or chemical data into the database.  This involves using an Oracle database to track the selections, compounds, and hits.

The candidate must be:

• Comfortable with processing large datasets
• Able to communicate effectively
• Able to use the Linux command line easily
• Able to write/modify python code
