Position Summary
Under direction, the Bioinformatics Analyst will lead a project to implement a clinical genomics sign out system and a precision medicine knowledge base system. The Bioinformatics Analyst will develop user interfaces and back end including relational database, test and maintain the system and ensure robustness and high-availability of these systems in the clinical and research settings. This position will involve extensive coordination with industry partners and other team members as well as supervision and guidance of other students and employees if needed. The Bioinformatics Analyst will also perform statistical and integrative data analysis for genomics and clinical data in the context of the Institute for Precision Medicine (IPM). The position will involve using analysis software such as R/Bioconductor as well as next-generation sequencing tools such as STAR, TopHat, CuffLinks, BWA, GATK and others.
Position Activities
Lead the project to implement a clinical genomics sign out system that involves many partners including industry partners and clinical and pathology teams.
Assist in the development of new software tools and write new code for specific bioinformatics analyses.
Assist in the development and maintenance of genomic and clinical databases, create web user interfaces, implement APIs.
Assist in the creation of data warehouses combining genomic and clinical data, perform the statistical analyses on these datasets.
Perform statistical and integrative data analysis for genomics and clinical data.
Supervise bioinformatics analysts and students
Performs other related duties as assigned
Qualifications
Minimum Requirements
