PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The mission of the Data Science and Information Technology Program (DSITP) is to develop an enterprise-level, consolidated information technology infrastructure that provides exceptional IT capabilities to the Frederick National Labs for Cancer Research (NCI-Frederick/FNLCR) in support of basic, translational, and clinical cancer and AIDS research. The Advanced Biomedical Computing Center (ABCC) is a part of the DSITP within Leidos Biomed. The primary focus of ABCC is to support scientific research at the NCI (National Cancer Institute) at Frederick, NCI-Bethesda, NIH, and other federal agencies through the Economy Act. The ABCC provides bioinformatics, systems biology, data integration and analysis, mathematical simulation and modeling, image analysis and visualization, nanoinformatics, proteomic analysis expertise, and web-enabled application delivery to these communities.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The Bioinformatics Analyst IV: 1) provides collaborative bioinformatics support to the investigators at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), 2) conducts analysis and interpretation of high-throughput biomedical data generated by microarray, next-generation sequencing, proteomics and metabolomics platforms, 3) designs, develops and deploys robust workflows, as well as custom scripts, to support the analysis of high-throughput data mining publicly available biological data to generate novel hypotheses or insights, 4) presents analysis results, in a clear and concise manner, to an audience not familiar with bioinformatics, and 5) provides guidance to the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) research community in the design and analysis of complex biological experiments. This position is located at the main NIH campus in Bethesda and may require travel to Frederick, Rockville and Gaithersburg campuses.
