We seek a computational biologist with a strong record of collaborative interactions with biologists. The successful candidate must possess a solid set of programming skills (e.g., R, Python, Java, Pearl) and relish the opportunity to tackle large data sets generated by a wide range of techniques including next generation sequencing, microarray analysis, small compound screens, and whole genome RNAi screens. Statistical and database management training is highly desirable. The successful applicant will be integrated into a Drosophila genomics team of 5-10 scientists with a 50/50 split between wet-bench and computational colleagues.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research on many of the most serious diseases affecting public health. The institute supports much of the clinical research on the diseases of internal medicine and related subspecialty fields as well as many basic science disciplines.

The Institute's Division of Intramural Research encompasses the broad spectrum of metabolic diseases such as: diabetes, obesity, inborn errors of metabolism, endocrine disorders, mineral metabolism, digestive and liver diseases, nutrition, urology and renal disease, and hematology. Basic research studies include: biochemistry, biophysics, nutrition, pathology, histochemistry, bioorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical and molecular biology, and pharmacology.

NIDDK extramural research is organized into four divisions: Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases; Digestive Diseases and Nutrition; Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases; and Extramural Activities.

The Institute supports basic and clinical research through investigator-initiated grants, program project and center grants, and career development and training awards. The Institute also supports research and development projects and large-scale clinical trials through contracts.
