Job Description:
We are looking for a Junior Software Developer (Technical Analyst I) to augment existing systems and to author new software to transform data for clinical and research use. Typical examples include: a local deployment and continued development of stream pipelines to transform and inject data into our local instance cBioPortal (see public portal at http://cbioportal.org).This is an exceptional opportunity to have broad impact across a spectrum of cancer research projects. Upcoming initiatives include a national clinical genomics data sharing initiative across leading Canadian cancer cancers, deployment of web-based tools to query large genomic data sets generated by our group, integration of genomics information with a clinical data federation being deployed within the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and close collaboration with the Translational Genomics Laboratory, a new joint initiative between the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (https://labs.oicr.on.ca/translational-genomics-laboratory). Mandatory Qualifications:
Additional Info:
The Cancer Genomics Program (CGP) is a research program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre dedicated to advancing personalized cancer medicine through the identification of underlying genetic mutations and molecular mechanisms that drive cancer (http://www.cancergenomicsprogram.ca/). Within the CGP, the laboratory of Dr. Trevor Pugh, PhD, FACMG is developing a range of web applications that support clinicians and researchers across the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, enabling them to share and transform data for clinical and research use. We are one of four NIH-funded sites contributing to the core cBioPortal core base, and this is an opportunity to have international contribution to a widely used clinical genomics data sharing platform. All of our work is open source, and we collaborate widely with researchers across Canada and the US (e.g. www.aacr.org/Research/Research/Pages/aacr-project-genie.aspx and http://www.tfri.ca/docs/default-source/research/tf4cn-faq_v7_online.pdf). Our group brings together experts from a variety of disciplines including medicine, genomics, immunology, high performance computing, machine learning, and pathology.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
