With some $60 million in federal grant money a year, the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, a new international research center in Baltimore's BioPark, has multiple
positions available for qualified personnel.
IGS scientists research the genomics of infectious diseases, human microbial metagenomics, and human genomics. Because of expanding research and the growth of genomics, IGS has multiple open positions, particularly in the bioinformatics group, the application of information technology to biological data, using computational and statistic techniques. This enables IGS to sequence samples from which people in the bioinformatics department annotate and analyze the complex genomic data.
The company is looking for motivated and talented individuals to join its informatics and scientific tream. IGS' expanding growth has led to multiple openings for software engineers, analysts, postdoc fellows and researchers.
Successful candidates will benefit from a community of interactive research labs, bioinformatics programmers and analysts along with a variety of sequencing, and computational resources available at this world-class institute.
