Job Description:
The Director will be responsible for the strategic vision, planning and execution of all bioinformatics activities and programs at CST. The Director will lead a bioinformatics and computational biology group with both internally- and externally-facing facets. Among other responsibilities, the Director would help provide strategic leadership of CST's PhosphoSitePlus database of protein sequences and post-translational modifications, and lead efforts involving NGS and proteomics data processing and analysis, leveraging both public and private datasets to meet the needs of all -omics customers, both internal and external. The successful candidate will be service-focused and will collaborate enthusiastically with multiple departments across the organization. Responsibilities: -Act as subject matter expert on bioinformatics algorithms, statistical analysis, proteomic and genomic data analysis. -Lead a team that supports & develops genomic and proteomic data analysis pipelines. -Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure adequate service to research and development groups and integration of systems with broader IT network at CST. -Direct the development of new tools for integrative analysis of NGS and proteomics data. -Explore and implement, as appropriate, new tools for analysis of proteomic data sets. -Ensure quality control, and maintain accurate software versioning, etc. -Identify, procure, and analyze external data sets that help to drive the mission of CST. -Set strategic direction in the use of application frameworks in support of bioinformatic workflows. -Oversee migration to scalable application infrastructure leveraging Amazon AWS. Qualifications: -PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biostatistics, Physics, or equivalent experience. -10+ years relevant experience, with 5 years in an industry setting. -Minimum of 5 years experience managing other bioinformatics scientists. -Significant experience in analysis of large proteomics data sets with track record of publication and/or software development. -Experience with analysis of large genomics data sets and integration with proteomics data; RNA-seq, ChIP-seq. -Demonstrated fluency in Software Engineering, Application Architecture, open-source frameworks, Python, Matlab, Java. -Must have strong computational protein/post-translational modification bioinformatics background. Preferred Skills/Experience: -Deep understanding of biostatistics as relates to large dataset analysis. -Experience with de novo peptide sequencing by mass spectrometry. -Excellent understanding of proteomics, genomics, and related analysis tools. -Demonstrated ability to balance competing priorities. -Excellent oral and written communication skills.
