Area-Field Organization, National Center for Cool and Cold-Water Aquaculture
located in Leetown, WV
The National Center for Cool and Cold-Water Aquaculture (Leetown, WV) is
seeking a permanent full-time Research Biologist
(Computational/Bioinformatics). The mission of this unit is to support and
enhance the nation’s cool and cold-water aquaculture production through
research and technology transfer. This position is for a research support
scientist. The incumbent will serve as a resource for data management and
computational analyses integrating genetic, genomic, phenotypic and
environmental information to increase production efficiency of rainbow trout
and Atlantic salmon and other cool- and cold-water fish species through
collaborative research with other unit scientists, other ARS scientists,
external research collaborations with other government agencies, academia and
industry. Supported research may include the development of genomic
predictions to improve traits of economic importance and genome wide
association studies to identify causative genome variants; use of
computational strategies to associate animal phenotypes with their underlying
genetic make-up; de-novo genome assemblies and de-novo genome annotations to
generate a reference pan-genome for rainbow trout and other salmonid; the
development of content for structural genome variants genotyping in rainbow
trout; functional analyses of transcriptomics datasets including but not
limited to differential expression of transcripts abundance and alternative
splice variants. This is a supervisory position, and the incumbent will
provide technical and administrative supervision for a research technician
(Bioinformatics) and training of assigned support personnel including
temporary employees, post docs, graduate students, and students.
This position requires a degree in biological sciences, agriculture, natural
resource management, chemistry, or related disciplines appropriate to the
position or courses equivalent to a major in the previously mentioned
courses, plus appropriate experience or additional education. Required
experience is experience translating large data sets into technological
solutions; conducting bioinformatics and other computational analyses; and
