Job Description
The Howell Lab is seeking a Research Data Analyst to join our research in the genetics and genomics of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and glaucoma. This position will be part of our ongoing studies which seek to leverage complex multi-omics experiments to probe drivers of neurodegeneration and identify potential treatments. This position will include curating current and historic datasets for data storage and sharing. Further, this position will analyze a wide variety of datasets (e.g., single cell RNA-seq/proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, and imaging data) for current and new projects. These analyses encompass a range of computational approaches including big data analysis through dimensional reduction and inference of disease relevance by comparison to matched human data. This position will network with members of the Computational Sciences and IT departments to disseminate data, analyses, and assist with visualization to facilitate broader community access. We are dedicated to open science and establishing an inclusive culture to expand our vision of scientific progress and encourage data usage.
