Department:Department of Biomedical Informatics

Job Title: Visiting Researcher

Position #: Requisition #:38658

Job Summary:

The Norman Lab housed in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is seeking a Visiting Researcher with deep expertise in genome graph construction and interpretation complex genomic architecture of the human MHC and de novo DNA sequence assembly.

In this role the researcher will design optimize and maintain advanced algorithms for assembling sequences within the human MHC genomic region and apply these computational methods to largescale disease association studies. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to highimpact research at the intersection of immunogenomics computational biology and human disease.

Visiting Researcher position is a fulltime twoyear appointment with the possibility of extension depending on funding and program needs.

Key Responsibilities:

Collaborate with and support Principal Investigators (PI) and other researchers in the area of bioinformatics and data analysis

Develop optimize and maintain algorithms for assembly of human MHC genomic region sequences

Develop optimize and maintain genomic graph representation for population-scale analysis of MHC genomic variation

Perform annotation of MHC region genes and variants; submit to public databases

Apply methods to high-throughput disease association studies

System administration of Norman lab Linux-based servers

Present research in progress at lab meetings project meetings and individual PI meetings
