Genomics Services Data Scientist - U W-MADISON DIV. CONTINUING STUDIES

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Summary: This is an exciting opportunity to join
the Genomics Services Unit of the Wisconsin National Primate Research
Center, part of a leading biomedical research program run by Dr. David
O'Connor. The successful applicant will help develop, design, organize,
and conduct research projects under the supervision of Dr. O'Connor and
senior scientists in the lab. They will actively participate in a team
studying genomic variability and immune system genetics of nonhuman
primates, with an emphasis on genotyping major histocompatibility
complex (MHC), killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR), and Fc gamma
receptor (FCGR) loci, as well as using genomic tools to understand the
evolution of pathogens in nonhuman primates The Data Scientist will use
workflow orchestration tools such as Nextflow or Snakemake to develop
robust, reproducible data analysis workflows that can run on a variety
of computational platforms, including local servers, UW-Madison CHTC HTC
and HPC servers, and commercial on-demand cloud computing clusters. Data
analysis tools developed in this position are shared publicly via
GitHub, so demonstrated experience documenting and deploying robust
analysis tools is essential. Domain-specific knowledge analyzing
nonhuman primate genomics and viral genomic datasets is beneficial;
however, applicants with relevant human genomic experience will also be
considered. The successful applicant will also be responsible for
mentoring and advising students and staff on computational analysis of
genomic data, and presenting and publishing this data. Therefore,
outstanding communication skills are required. Responsibilities:
Contributes to a research agenda set by a lead researcher by preparing
