Research Opportunities Here at GW

We have several full-time and part-time positions open. Part-time positions are usually 20 hours/week. Individuals with bioinformatics, biocuration and/or programming background are encouraged to contact hadley_king@gwu.edu for details regarding part-time positions.

Intern Positions

An intern is sought to help with testing on the HIVE platform. Primary responsibilities will be focused on routine testing, but may be expanded to include a role in research projects depending on skill and interest level. Candidates do not necessarily need to be advanced at sequencing, biology, or coding (previous experience is a plus), but should have a strong interest in bioinformatics and be dedicated to the role as a member of the team. May work remotely if necessary, but will be expected to join routine meetings virtually. Interested candidates should contact Jonathon Keeney.

Research Staff Positions

Research Assistant / Research Associate

The research assistant or associate should have knowledge of at least one of the following: glycobiology, biochemistry, genomics, proteomics, data science, and other informatics. This individual will be responsible for the maintenance and update of knowledgebase datasets and coordinating weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual project meetings with collaborators and stakeholders. This individual will also be responsible for creating project reports, presentation slides, and posters along with maintaining the project’s Agile boards for our group. This position also requires an understanding of bioinformatics, and hands-on experience with bioinformatics tools and resources is a plus, as well as familiarity with data science technologies. For more information, please send a CV and cover letter to hadley_king@gwu.edu.

Post-Doctoral Research Positions

Post-Doctoral Scientist - Glycobiology

The Post-Doctoral Scientist will work on an NIH-funded project. This individual will have extensive knowledge of data standardization, carbohydrate chemistry, biochemistry, proteomics, and existing glycobiology and protein-related resources. They will be responsible for the maintenance and update of datasets and attending and sometimes planning weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual project meetings with collaborators and stakeholders. The Post-Doctoral Scientist will also be responsible for creating project reports, presentation slides, and posters along with drafting publications with key collaborators.

Minimum Qualifications: Applicant must have a terminal degree (PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent) at the time of appointment and demonstrable experience in glycobiology.

Post-Doctoral Scientist - Computer Science

The Post-Doctoral Scientist will work on government/commercial funded project involved in the development of glycoinformatics and cancer knowledge bases. This individual will have extensive knowledge of Python, MySQL, SPARQL, JavaScript, and RESTful APIs. They will be responsible for processing data using various pipelines that feed our HIVE Lab knowledgebase resources, and attending and sometimes planning weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual project meetings with collaborators and stakeholders. The Post-Doctoral Scientist will also be responsible for creating project reports, presentation slides, and posters along with drafting publications with other key collaborators.

Minimum Qualifications: Applicant must have a terminal degree (PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent) at the time of appointment and demonstrable experience in Computer Science.

Research Faculty Positions

Research Assistant Professor/Scientific Coordinator

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at The George Washington University’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences is seeking applications for a full-time (12-month) faculty position to be filled at the rank of Assistant Professor (non-tenure). Salary will be commensurate with experience. The successful candidate will have an active role in the development of knowledgebases, coordinate data integration activities, develop detailed milestones, and lead other project members. They will be expected to regularly reach out to the scientific community (domestic and international) to develop new collaborations and pursue existing ones, while also attending and planning weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual project meetings with collaborators and stakeholders. Conducting bioinformatics experiments on integrated data to showcase utility of integration will be part of developing and writing project reports, presentation slides, posters, manuscripts, and detailed read-me files. The development of new projects related to or complementary to the HIVE Lab interests is also a possibility.

Minimum Qualifications: Applicant must have a terminal degree (PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent) at the time of appointment and demonstrable experience in glycobiology and proven leadership capability.
For more information, please send a CV and cover letter to hadley_king@gwu.edu.
