[Cbcb-jobs] Call for Computational Geneticist

[Rachel Zayas]

Dear UMD,

This is a call for hire, we are looking for a computational geneticist. AGED
is a diagnostic startup company that focuses on early detection methods of
cancers caused by viruses. We are developing a diagnostic test to determine
patterns of early signs of viral cancers using transcriptional analysis.
Our business is partnering with primary care physicians and genetic
counselors to help patients gain access to genomic technologies by using
AGED services to determine early signs of tumorigenesis.



We are currently hiring and looking for a computational geneticist to join
our team to assist in research operations. Graduate students in
bioinformatics, computational genetics or similar fields are welcome to
apply. *Position is part time, paid and work can be done remotely.* We are
located in DC, but are willing to hire the right candidates outside of the
area. This fall we are dedicated to expanding research and the major
responsibilities of new hires are as follows:

1.     The primary purpose of the computational geneticist is to analyze
genomic data that is publicly available online, such as, but not limited to
finding gene expression profiles for specific gene clusters that are
related to the development of tumorigenesis. The specifics of
oligonucleotide sequences to target and analyze will be directed to the
Consultant as needed by AGED.

2.     Consultant is allowed to use any free tools available to them that
will assist in research needs. If a tool is necessary to identify gene
expression profiles that requires purchasing, then Consultant must submit a
written statement to AGED describing why tool is necessary. If a free tool
is available, then that platform must be used first before purchasing
excess computational platforms.

3.     Services may be performed by Consultant remotely.

4.     The Consultant must write up detailed steps of research, such as,
but not limited to, finding gene sequences, analyzing transcriptomic data
and creating final output. All steps must be recorded in a manner that
another Consultant can follow and replicate results.  Consultant shall use
research notebooks that are solely dedicated to the Services performed for
AGED.

5.     As requested from time to time by AGED, Consultant shall create
written documents of findings and figures as needed, in order to summarize
and submit all findings to AGED.

6.     Consultant is welcome to attend conferences, workshops, pitch events
with other members of AGED if interested, but not a necessity for this role.



We are dedicated to growing a strong team of diverse individuals with
various backgrounds. If you have an interest in becoming a part of our
team, please send a message and your CV to the founder Rachel Zayas at
rzayas791 at gmail.com



We look forward to hearing from you,

-Rachel Zayas
