Job Description:
Under direct supervision, the Bioinformatics Specialist applies professional bioinformatics concepts and computational procedures to complete small projects or portions of projects. Works on assignments of limited scope and complexity. Follows standard programming procedures to analyze situations and data from which answers can be readily obtained. The Bioinformatics Specialist performs bioinformatics analyses of high throughput data by designing new computational pipelines and /or using and adapting existing pipelines. Writes code to process complex high-throughput data sets and generate reports. The Bioinformatics Specialist utilizes and develops algorithms, computational tools, and statistical methodologies. Helps in the design of new experiments. Implements end-user needs in database searching and integration. Maintains the computational infrastructure and tracks the flow of samples and information for large-scale studies. Provides web-based bioinformatics and access to public and proprietary databases. Teaches, develops, and contributes to training sessions and workshops and courses dedicated to topics in bioinformatics. Required Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in bioinformatics, computational / programming, or related areas • Working knowledge of next generation sequencing (NGS) methodologies and tools (e.g. Bowtie, Star, Bedtools) • Experience with more than one type of biological or health data (e.g. RNASeq, genetic sequences, proteomics, imaging, etc.) • Proficient in Python or R, with preference given to those skilled in both languages • Proficient with Linux/Unix systems, including using command line tools • Basic knowledge of modern biology and applicable field of research • Interpersonal skills in order to work with both technical and non-technical personnel at various levels in the organization • Ability to communicate technical information in a clear and concise manner • Self-motivated, able to learn quickly, meet deadlines and demonstrate problem solving skills Note: Fingerprinting and background check required. Preferred Qualifications: • Master’s degree in bioinformatics computational / programming, or related area, and /or equivalent experience / training • AWS, Unix/Linux OS and shell scripting, Python, Rstudio, Jupyter, iPython RedHat, CentOS, Obuntu Linux • Basic knowledge of databases • Basic project management skills • Basic knowledge of application and data security concepts License/Certification n/a

DIABETES CENTER / ITN: The UC San Francisco Diabetes Center is a comprehensive research and treatment facility with a broad focus on clinical care, education and both basic and clinical research. The Center maintains a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative environment that brings together expertise from the UCSF Departments of Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Microbiology & Immunology and others. The Diabetes Center encompasses both the Islet Transplant Center and the Immune Tolerance Network. The UCSF Islet Transplant Center is a traditional clinical research facility dedicated to the advancement of treating diabetes through islet transplantation. The Immune Tolerance Network (ITN) is a National Institutes of Health-funded initiative to facilitate the advancement of immune tolerance-inducing procedures in human clinical practice, towards the development of new and improved treatment and monitoring protocols in kidney and islet transplantation, autoimmune disease, and asthma & allergic diseases. With approximately $13 million dollars in funding per year, the Network is responsible for all aspects of the implementation of the mechanistic, laboratory-based studies and the clinical trials. The structure of the Diabetes Center will resemble that of a matrix organization, with the Diabetes Center, the ITN and the Islet Center all being self-contained cells functioning autonomously but at the same time working towards a unified goal. ABOUT UCSF: The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a leading university dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care. It is the only campus in the 10-campus UC system dedicated exclusively to the health sciences. Equal Employment Opportunity: The University of California San Francisco is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic information.
