What does a bioinformatics PhD do?

In a Bioinformatics PhD role, you may be tasked with designing and implementing computational analyses to interpret large-scale genomic or proteomic data, developing new algorithms or pipelines, and contributing to manuscripts or research publications. Collaboration with experimental biologists, clinicians, and fellow data scientists is common, requiring you to translate complex biological questions into computational approaches and communicate results effectively. On a daily basis, you might analyze sequencing data, troubleshoot code, manage data workflows, and help mentor junior researchers or students. These responsibilities offer dynamic opportunities to make a significant impact in advancing biological research and medical innovation.

What skills and qualifications are needed for a bioinformatics PhD?

A successful Bioinformatics PhD possesses advanced knowledge in computational biology, statistics, genomics, and a doctoral degree in bioinformatics or a closely related field. Familiarity with programming languages such as Python or R, experience with bioinformatics databases, and use of tools like BLAST, Galaxy, or Bioconductor are commonly expected. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and collaborative skills are highly valued in this field. These skills enable bioinformatics professionals to analyze complex biological data, work efficiently within multidisciplinary teams, and drive meaningful scientific discoveries.

What is a bioinformatics PhD?

A Bioinformatics PhD job involves conducting research and developing computational tools to analyze biological data, such as genomics, proteomics, and clinical datasets.

Indiana University is an equal opportunity employer and provider of ADA services and prohibits discrimination in hiring. See Indiana University Notice of Non-Discrimination here which includes contact information.  
The Landeta Lab in the Department of Biology at Indiana University, Bloomington is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow. Our department is a large, unified department with world-class research spanning all levels of biological organization and diverse experimental systems. Our lab in Microbiology investigates the processes that take place in the bacterial cell envelope with emphasis into oxidative protein folding. The overarching goal for this position is to make timely progress on our NIH and CFF grants (https://reporter.nih.gov/search/kpoQKsh8Pkqp4S1_RS1-PQ/project-details/11259946), which looks for fundamental insights into novel oxidative reactions, the exported proteins that depend on disulfide bonds, the substrate specificity among thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases and finding novel inhibitors against oxidative folding. We are excited about science and looking for another positive, curious person to join our team.
Core topics to work on: (1) In vitro assays to determine inhibitor efficacy against redox membrane proteins 
(2) Cysteine enrichment of DsbA substrates in E. coli and Mycobacteria using proteomics. (3) determine differences between DsbA proteins of two model organisms, E. coli and M. smegmatis (4) Establishing termini restraining for inhibitor-protein crystallography in collaboration with Prof. Weikai Li.
Other general responsibilities include: Supervising undergrads; managing general lab operations; writing up research (e.g. for our annual reports or for manuscripts); presenting findings at lab meetings, microphiles, retreats and conferences; and participating in lab meetings. 
Basic Qualifications
Education and Experience Required: PhD
Qualifications: Highly motivated candidates with a Ph.D., in microbiology, biochemistry, biology, or a related field, with a strong interest in studying oxidative protein folding in bacteria and targeting this process in pathogens. High degree of initiative, time management and professionalism, very organized and detail-oriented with proficient communication skills, written and oral and ability to work effectively as a team. Experience with microbial genetics, protein purification, in vitro assays, molecular biology, proteomics is desirable. Trainees will receive health insurance as well as a stipend commensurate with experience.
To apply, please submit (1) a cover letter describing your research and educational background, your career goals, why you are interested in this position, and the date you are available to start, (2) a CV highlighting your publications including a brief description of the main findings and how you contributed to the work, and (3) the names and contact info of three references.
