The Ahmed-Braimah Lab seeks a Research Analyst (RA) to support a diverse portfolio of research projects focused on evolutionary and functional genomics. They will work closely with the Principal Investigator, graduate students, postdocs, and collaborating laboratories to manage, analyze, and interpret large-scale genomic and transcriptomic datasets. The RA will apply established analytical tools, develop custom pipelines, and create new computational approaches to address cutting-edge biological questions.

Projects involve whole-genome and resequencing analyses, RNA-Seq and single-cell omics, population genomics, regulatory genomics (ATAC-Seq, ChIP-Seq, CUT&RUN), comparative genomics, genome assembly and annotation, CRISPR screens, and computational workflows for evolutionary and functional analyses. This position requires a strong computational background, demonstrated experience with next-generation sequencing analysis, and enthusiasm for collaborative work is preferred. Excellent communication skills and a desire to train junior scientists are essential, as the position includes mentorship and teaching responsibilities.

This position is part of a bargaining unit and is represented by the union SEIU, Local 200United.
