Posted 1/1/10, initial review date 2/4/10

The UCSC Genome Sequencing Center (GSC) seeks a PhD-level scientist with experience and detailed knowledge of high-throughput sequence analysis to help GSC users manage, analyze and publish their sequence-based research. The position requires demonstrated ability to work effectively with biologists to apply computational approaches to their experiments.

The GSC provides next-generation sequencing services to a wide community of researchers, including UCSC (multiple departments across several divisions), UC Berkeley, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), UC San Francisco, and local biotech companies. Faculty members at UCSC now have the opportunity to use these approaches to address fundamental questions in molecular biology and genetics. Due to the newness of this technology, few research labs have the expertise necessary to analyze the enormous amount of sequence data (e.g., 17 billion bases of DNA from a single run) produced by these machines. This position is intended to bridge the gap between the technology and the analysis of the data it produces.

At present the GSC offers ABI SOLiD sequencing technology and Roche 454 Titanium Series sequencing technology; it is in the process of acquiring an Illumina Genome Analyzer. The GSC plans to remain at the forefront of technology through the judicious acquisition of high-caliber sequencing platforms as they are developed and by optimizing and further developing existing technologies.

SUMMARY OF DUTIES
Under general supervision and in consultation with an advisory committee, the HT sequencing analyst will provide data processing, mapping, and assembly support to users of the GSC. The analyst will also assist with experimental design and basic statistical comparisons between samples, implement and manage third-party software, and to a limited extent modify software for specific data analysis needs. The analyst will train researchers in basic data analysis and assist with data display on the UCSC Genome Browser. It is expected that the analyst will work closely with scientists on their research projects, understanding the scientific questions being addressed and making significant bioinformatic contributions.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Sequence data processing and analysis: Process raw sequence reads. Map sequencing reads to a genome. Assemble reads and conduct primary analysis, including annotation and digital expression analysis. Assist with simple statistical comparisons of reads from different samples; for example, between wild type and mutant or between treatment sample and control.

Genome Sequencing Center support: Supervise student workers hired to help with data processing and analysis. Interact with the UCSC Genome Browser staff as necessary to facilitate the final display of data and analysis in a form suitable for publication and display on the UCSC Genome Browser. Assist Genome Sequencing Center staff in determining hardware needs associated with existing and new sequencing instruments; Implement a laboratory information management system (LIMS) based on existing systems to allow users to request services and access the results in an efficient manner.

Research support: Advise on experimental design as needed to maximize useful results and minimize cost. Work with scientists to help them understand and analyze their scientific data.

QUALIFICATIONS (with or without accommodation):
PhD in bioinformatics, computer science, bioengineering, or biology; experience in and detailed knowledge of high-throughput sequence analysis; experience in processing high-throughput sequence data and using established software; general knowledge of biological systems, their experimental uses and limitations, and the conceptual use of high-throughput sequencing data for biology; experience using the UCSC Genome Browser and related visualization tools; demonstrated ability to work effectively with biologists to apply computational approaches to their experiment. Ability to communicate effectively and diplomatically with a wide range of people; communicate clearly and concisely verbally and in writing; work as part of a team and collaborate with colleagues; work independently and follow through on assignments; organize material, information, and projects to maximize productivity and efficiency; and attend to detail and work to established quality standards

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Experience training others in the management, processing, and analysis of high-throughput sequence data; experience in experimental design of high-throughput sequencing experiments and use of the UCSC Genome Browser and its related tools to analyze and display the data; experience working in a molecular biology lab

The Department of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California-Santa Cruz has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to fully develop a model organism database and genome browser for all Archaea and extremophile bacteria, similar in purpose to SGD, FlyBase, and other important organism-specific databases. A major objective of the database is seamless integration of functional genomic data from DNA microarrays, proteomics studies, and high-throughput cDNA sequencing. A functional genomics data repository also will be established specifically for the archaeal research community based on an existing system. Under the direction of Asst. Professor Todd Lowe, the Center for Archaeal and Extremophile Genome Research is now seeking to fill several new positions immediately, including the full-time position of Software Developer and Functional Genomics Database Curator. The Archaeal and Extremophile Genome Database (http://archaea.ucsc.edu) currently hosts 70+ archaeal and bacterial genomes, and will continue to expand in the number of genomes and sources of gene function information. As part of the Archaeal genome database team, duties will include improving and maintaining a microarray / proteomic data repository and CGI interface for submitting new data, helping design and implement new interfaces for functional genomic data queries and comparisons within the genome browser, automating gene keyword searches on scientific literature and helping automate content curation tasks, integrating new “tracks” of bioinformatic analyses into the genome browser, developing improved collaborative Wiki tools tied into the genome browser for community-based gene re-annotation efforts, and thoroughly testing new browser features and tracks, identifying and fixing bugs or systematic errors in the database. This is an ideal opportunity for a computer scientist/programmer with strong programming skills to gain highly valued skills in an interdisciplinary biological research setting, including advanced comparative genomics and computational biology analysis. Co-authorship on scientific publications also is possible, dependent on contributions to research projects in the lab.
