The Research Computing Center invites you to join our team.
Open Positions:
The Research Computing Center regularly hires Computational Scientists who have expertise in high-end computing and a specific discipline. Computational Scientists serve as domain experts in supporting and advising faculty, post-docs, and graduate students on a wide range of research projects. They support faculty research projects, understand faculty’s research questions, and contribute to finding solutions and implementing them. Working as part of an existing talented team, you will have ample opportunity to contribute to enabling science at the University of Chicago, develop and deliver training, and other activities designed to advance research.
Computational Scientist-Bioinformatics
The Research Computing Center and the Chevrier Lab at the Pritzker School for Molecular Engineering are looking for a highly motivated Computational Scientist to work closely with faculty and researchers at the University of Chicago. The successful candidate will play a key role in characterizing and engineering the immune system in health and disease by working with the Chevrier Lab and in collaboration with researchers and clinicians at the University of Chicago and beyond. Emphasis will be to (i) generate new biological insights by developing new approaches to analyzing large-scale and high-throughput data (e.g., next-generation sequencing, high-throughput screening), (ii) maintain, upgrade and train users on existing pipelines in the lab, and (iii) develop new pipelines as needed.
