Organization Overview

Our lab has developed novel CRISPR-based tools for functional genomics in the globally important pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At Rockefeller, you will join a dynamic research team to investigate the mechanisms that enable this bacterium to cause disease and evade current antibiotics, with the long-term goal of developing new strategies to improve control of this pandemic.
Overview

The Bioinformatics Assistant will provide computational and software development support to the Laboratory of Host-Pathogen Biology, including development and maintenance of data analysis pipelines, web applications, and machine learning models for functional genomics research in mycobacteria.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities include:

+ Develop and maintain Django-based web applications and databases for sharing CRISPRi and TnSeq functional genomics datasets and results.
+ Design and implement bioinformatics pipelines for proce...
