Bioinformatics Analyst

to join the research group of

Dr. Robert Burk

at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. This role is critical to supporting our ongoing

molecular epidemiology and microbiome research , with a strong emphasis on

human papillomavirus (HPV)-related neoplasia

and

the human microbiome (gut, oral, and cervicovaginal).

The successful candidate will contribute to projects that have been

published in high-impact journals such as

Nature Communications

and

CELL .

The ideal candidate will have

a strong background in bioinformatics, epidemiology, computational biology, or a related discipline

and possess

demonstrated experience processing next-generation sequencing (NGS) data . This position provides an opportunity to work at the intersection of

genomics, microbiome research, and epidemiology , with direct implications for cancer prevention and infectious disease research.

Key Responsibilities:

NGS Data Analysis: Process and analyze high-throughput sequencing data (e.g., amplicon sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, metagenomics, viral integration) and develop bioinformatics pipelines. Epidemiological Data Integration: Apply bioinformatics methodologies to study host-pathogen interactions, microbial communities, and genomic variations in large-scale epidemiological cohorts. Phylogenetics & Evolutionary Analysis: Perform phylogenetic tree construction and genomic epidemiology studies for HPV and other microbiome-related investigations. Data Management & Security: Organize, manage, and curate sequencing datasets, ensuring compliance with clinical data protection and security best practices. Computational & Statistical Analysis: Utilize R, Python, or other computational tools to perform statistical analyses, epidemiological modeling, and data visualization. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with molecular biologists, epidemiologists, and computational scientists to integrate findings into broader translational research efforts. Reporting & Presentation: Present findings in lab meetings, scientific conferences, and high-impact publications. Grant & Manuscript Preparation: Contribute to research proposals and manuscript writing to support ongoing and new projects.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s or Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, epidemiology, or related fields preferred. Technical Skills: Proficiency in R, Python, or similar languages for data analysis. Experience with NGS data processing, microbiome bioinformatics (16S, ITS1, shotgun metagenomics), and HPV genomics. Familiarity with machine learning/statistical modeling techniques in epidemiology is a plus. Problem-Solving & Innovation: Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with a proactive approach to problem-solving in bioinformatics and epidemiology. Communication & Collaboration: Ability to work in a highly interdisciplinary team and clearly communicate complex findings.

Why Join Us?

Work on cutting-edge molecular epidemiology and microbiome research with direct public health impact. Collaborate with leading experts in bioinformatics, genomics, and epidemiology. Be part of projects published in top-tier journals such as Nature Communications and CELL. Career development opportunities, including conference participation, grant writing experience, and authorship on high-impact publications.

If you are a

bioinformatics scientist eager to apply computational approaches to epidemiological and microbiome research , we encourage you to apply!
