Job Description:
The Laboratory Medicine department has an outstanding opportunity for a full-time Bioinformatics Lead to support the development and deployment of bioinformatics applications for our expanding suite of clinical next-generation sequencing assays. The Bioinformatics Lead will act as a lead developer to perform analyses of deep datasets, deploy new algorithms, and develop novel software applications in a state-of-the-art clinical laboratory by working closely with junior bioinformaticists, faculty and scientists to gather code specifications and requirements, assign priorities to bioinformatics staff, monitor team progress on projects, make architectural decisions, and provide technical advice on patches and code changes. The Bioinformatics Lead will specify, encode, and debug complex software applications to analyze large DNA sequence data files; install and maintain data analysis pipelines; and identify the optimal software and hardware configurations to ensure timely and efficient completion of data analyses. The Bioinformatics Lead will manage assignments to a team of programmers and bioinformaticists to diagnose hardware or software issues, assign programming tasks, and develop software documentation and process definitions. This Bioinformatics Lead will help maintain and expand our national leadership in clinical Next Generation DNA Sequencing technology by creating novel data analysis tools that enable the deployment of ascendant algorithms and further the advancement of cancer diagnostics and precision medicine.
