Data Analyst

The Biomedical Informatics Core of the Clinical Translational Science Center (CTSC) at Weill Medical College of Cornell University is recruiting a data analyst to perform biomarker discovery in high-throughput data sets generated in clinical and basic science laboratories across the CTSC. We are seeking candidates with a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, biology, physics or chemistry and post-doctoral experience in biomarker discovery. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate expertise in machine learning and statistics applied to gene expression and/or proteomics datasets. The biomarker data analyst will be responsible for working with CTSC investigators to help them derive predictive models from high-throughput datasets. Strong communication skills and the ability to develop collaborations with basic and clinical investigators are a must. A strong publication record is a plus. This is research associate position (non non-faculty, academic position). The candidate will work on the Manhattan campus, in the state of the art computing environment of the Institute for Computational Biomedicine. Resume, cover letter, and at least two reference letters on behalf of the candidate should be addressed to Dr. Fabien Campagne at icbjobs@med.cornell.edu. Applications must be received by 31 August 2008.
