  • Knowledge/experience with the analysis software from the systems in CARD: NIS-Elements, Zen Blue/Black, and Harmony
  • Comfortable working with large datasets (thousands to millions of images)
  • Familiarity with statistical conventions and data visualization of such datasets 
  • Biology background and interest in or willingness to learn about neurodegenerative disease cell biology
  • Python and/or R proficiency
  • Familiarity with distributed, parallel HPC and/or cloud computing (NIH Biowulf and google cloud ideal)
  • Knowledge of sequencing technologies

  • Able to work independently or with minimum supervision
  • Ability to work as part of a diverse team of scientists


Scope of work:


  • Develop and deploy data processing and QC pipelines at scale
  • Train models and raters for automated cell imaging and analysis
  • Management and sharing of public datasets
  • Knowledge transfer


Preferences:

  • Local or willing to immediately relocate to the Washington DC Metro area
  • Experience with the National Institutes of Health or similar federal research structure
  • Ability to be on the NIH campus Tuesday to Thursday



Additional notes: 

This position will include opportunities to grow your bioinformatics and data science skills as well as publish high impact research in collaboration with NIH initiatives we support.
