Bioinformaticist – Bone Marrow Transplant

Job Description:
Assists in developing and conducting research projects, including experimental design, data analysis, and documentation of experiment results. The primary focus of this position will be the analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data from patients with various types of cancer, the creation of new computational approaches for cancer genomics and immunogenomics, and the development of software to support these activities. Responsibilities include use of existing bioinformatics tools to process sequence data (alignment, variant calling, etc.), producing complex visualizations that aid interpretation of large data sets, working with software developers to release open access bioinformatics tools, and contributing to publications and educational workshops.

PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Designs, develops, and implements:
• Algorithms and computer software for analyzing high-throughput, massively parallel genomic data sets;
• Relational databases to store, disseminate and analyze data, including verification of data submitted and recommendations for analyses;
• Web interfaces and queries to access relational databases; maintains web server;
• Independent research projects, including design of research protocols and development of procedures for the collection, verification, and management of data.
• Performs complex systems analysis of data and writes interpretative reports.
• Evaluates commercial and academic bioinformatics software.
• Trains other researchers on the everyday use of analysis software and research databases.
• Assists with grant preparation and reporting of methods, data, and results.
• Solves practical problems relating to difficulties with equipment or test subjects; suggests technical or procedural improvements in testing methods.
