Position:Computational Biologist I - Cochran LabJob Type: Full-TimeINSTITUTE OVERVIEWThe HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology (www.hudsonalpha.org) is a non-profit organization with the mission to use biotechnology and basic biological research to make important discoveries, improve human health, stimulate economic development, inspire young people to seek careers in science and teach members of the public the importance of science in their everyday lives. Located in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Alabama, one of the world's leading science and technology parks, HudsonAlpha's campus contains state-of-the-art laboratories for biological research and development, as well as education, in the areas of genomics, genetics and personalized medicine. <hr/>DEPARTMENT OVERVIEWThe J. Nicholas Cochran laboratory uses genomic approaches to answer biological questions specific to neurodegenerative diseases with an emphasis on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Therefore, while not required, subject area familiarity and/or interest in genetics, genomics, neuroscience, or neurodegenerative diseases is desirable. Projects include the study of gene regulation for genes implicated in neurodegeneration, novel analysis approaches for associating genetic variation with neurodegenerative diseases, and genome-wide genomics approaches relevant to neurodegeneration. Key ongoing projects related to this role include several national and international collaborations on genetic contributors to neurodegenerative diseases, including with the Multi-Partner Consortium to Expand Dementia Research in Latin America (ReDLat), the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, and the UAB Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.<hr/>POSITION SUMMARYThe Computational Biologist I combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data. This position supports collaborative research efforts with experimental scientists, software engineers, and other bioinformaticians to implement computational workflows and data analysis strategies. The Computational Biologist I uses lab-generated or publicly available data to answer specific biological questions. By applying computational methods, the Computational Biologist I is integral to processing and analyzing the large amount of data generated in or accessed by a genomics laboratory. The ideal candidate will be comfortable constructing bioinformatics pipelines that interface with internal and external resources using modern programming languages commonly employed in bioinformatics (Python, R, and bash), both locally and in high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud environments.<hr/>JOB SPECIFIC TASKSData Analysis & Research <ul><li
