	      University of Michigan Human Genome Center
			   Informatics Core
	

The Human Genome Center (Genomic Technology and Genetic Disease) at the
University of Michigan is dedicated to improving genomic technology and
adapting processes and procedures to identify the genes responsible for
genetic disorders.  The Center, currently in the second year of a 5-year
grant, is an exciting and enjoyable place to work.  You will interact daily
with researchers at the forefront of their field, and will contribute to work
that can benefit potentially millions of people.

We are currently hiring for two positions: an Analyst/Database Designer and a
Programmer.  The Informatics Core is designing and building the data bases
and computing tools used by the Center.  We are looking for intelligent, hard
working, motivated people with a solid background in computing and data
bases, and preferably with some knowledge of biology, genomics, and genetics.
Both jobs will involve a variety of tasks; they will never be boring!  Pay
will be competitive, based on background and experience.

Analyst/Database Designer

    You will design, develop, implement and maintain basic components of
    the information systems for the Center.  Particular tasks include:
     * Participate in the design and implementation of a relational database
       for tracking, capturing, and supporting Center activities.
     * Assist in the development of improvements in the total hardware/
       software and communications environment.
     * Advise researchers, faculty, staff, and students in the use of the
       systems, and help them solve problems as they arise.
     * Present short courses to the user community on the capabilities and
       use of the systems.
     * Document the facility and services.

    Qualifications for the position: Master's degree in Computer Science or a
    related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience;
    Progressively responsibly experience in designing and implementing
    computer systems; Reasonable knowledge of biology and gene mapping is
    preferred; Experience with relational databases, preferably Sybase;
    Experience with Unix and the X Window System.

    The position is listed as a Systems Research Programmer III;
    exceptionally qualified candidates will be considered at the Research
    Scientist level.

Programmer

    You will program, implement, and maintain system utility programs and
    database programs using Unix, C, and database languages. 
    Tasks include:
     * Design, program and implement utility programs for users using Sybase
       and other data base tools.
     * Install and maintain existing program.
     * Maintain specific programs to accomodate the changing characteristics
       of the environment and changing user requirements.
     * Document programs and systems.
     * Write user instruction guides.
     * Assist in troubleshooting hardware and software problems.

    Qualifications include: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a
    related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience;
    Reasonable knowledge of and experience with relational databases,
    preferably Sybase; Reasonable programming experience in Unix and C;
    Experience with Unix and the X Window System; Some knowledge of biology
    and gene mapping is desirable.

    This position is listed as a Systems Research Programmer II.
