Genomics Core Director
Description
This successful applicant will manage ongoing next-generation sequencing research in the UND Genomics Core. This position will help investigators design and projects involving next-generation sequencing and analysis of big data datasets. This position will assist with the design and analysis of next-generation sequencing experiments including data generated by UND researchers and their collaborators as well as of publicly available genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics data. Tasks include, but are not limited to, design of sequencing experiments, grooming of raw data, statistical tests, and helping generate figures for presentation and publication. The successful applicant will be able to identify the best strategy, including software for analysis of specific data, to accomplish the project and will be capable of learning the necessary new skills. This individual will be supervising other core staff involved in wet lab and bioinformatics data analysis, will assign staff to specific projects, and will conduct meetings with individual investigators in relation to bioinformatics projects. This person will be responsible for the budgeting and billing for these projects and providing reports to external funding agencies such as NIH. This individual will also identify problems, challenges, and future directions as the core grows and work with investigators and to bring issues to appropriate resolution.

Genomics Scientist
Description
The Genomics Core at the University of North Dakota is a shared resource providing state of the art genomics capabilities to investigators at UND, institutions across the northern Midwest, as well as commercial clients. The core facility is an NIH supported operation intended to help researchers utilize next generation sequencing technologies in basic and translational research. The Core’s primary function is to help researchers generate genomics data as well as to analyze, interpret, visualize, and store the massive amount of data produced in next generation sequencing experiments. The Core provides services, training and genomics resources to the scientific research community here at UND, NDSU, USDA and other research institutions in ND and neighboring states. The Genomics Core staff assist with project design and sample preparation for next-generation sequencing. They also provide assistance with the analysis and presentation of sequencing data for manuscripts, etc. based on the needs of individual investigators and research projects, using standard and custom workflows. The purpose of this position is to manage ongoing Genomics and bioinformatics research and provide genomics services to internal and external clients in the genomics Core. This position will provide comprehensive assistance with the design and implementation of experiments, technical assistance with advanced equipment and methods, computational and statistical analysis, and results reporting for SMHS faculty, staff, and students, as well as outside collaborating entities. The position will collaborate with investigators and others to bring issues to appropriate resolution; will present at seminars/teaching forums; and will work on an on-going basis to identify challenges and future directions as the Genomics Core continues to grow.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Dr. Manu's lab (https://manulab.info) is currently seeking an independent experimental biologist with a strong interest in developmental/stem-cell biology, gene regulation, and epigenetics and the ability to work collaboratively with other experimentalists and computational scientists. The postdoc will develop and implement projects, utilizing modern genome editing and functional genomics approaches, to investigate the rules by which epigenetic state and transcription factor occupancy determine how complex loci containing multiple enhancers are regulated. The postdoc will work closely with computational scientists to develop and validate mathematical models and will have the opportunity to learn computational techniques. Successful candidates will be expected to mentor undergraduate and graduate students and interact with the larger developmental biology and epigenetics community at the University of North Dakota.
For full consideration, please apply at the University of North Dakota’s job site by August 7, 2021. Please include 1) a cover letter explaining your interest in the position, 2) CV, and 3) contact information for 3 references in your application. The position is open until filled.
