As a Computational Biologist / Bioinformatics Analyst you will:
- Provide bioinformatics support in the development of next-generation sequencing applications to characterize the full spectrum of clinically significant genetic mutations in patient tumors.
- Design, develop, integrate, and operate computational pipelines for the analysis of next-generation sequencing data.
- Evaluate and test third party software packages; evaluate performance of novel technology platforms and assays.
- Work with experimental and computational biologists, clinical and translational research collaborators, and scientists in the MSKCC Center for Molecular Oncology.
- Track specimen information, experimental and analysis parameters, performance metrics, and genomic results in databases.
- Perform next-generation sequencing data analysis to discover and annotate cancer-causing genetic mutations in tumor specimens.
- Maintain detailed records of all analyses.
- Present results and progress updates at group meetings and make presentations to scientific and clinical collaborators.
- Attend seminars, lectures, and training courses to learn new computational biology skills to remain up to date with the cancer genomics field and learn new programming languages or techniques as necessary.
- A detail-oriented, effective communicator with an ability to build strong relationships.
- An excellent problem-solver with the ability to analyze situations, draw conclusions, make recommendations and convey this information in a timely and proficient manner.
- Passionate about science and have a desire to impact cancer.
- Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing priorities.
- A person who enjoys working in a team, is self-motivated, can manage multiple tasks simultaneously, and can solve problems independently.
- Interested in the analysis of large genomic datasets and the development of new clinical technologies.
You have:
