Job Description:
The Bioinformatician will design and implement bioinformatics services for projects in the Center for Data Intensive Science. Projects range from large-scale federal contracts with the NIH National Cancer Institute to research projects with faculty. The Bioinfomatician will work on developing pipelines, including support for high-throughput genomic technologies. This may include developing and implementing software methodologies and computational tools as needed, keeping abreast of industry trends and new technologies, and recommending potential solutions based on the latest technical developments. The Bioinformatician will engage with the bioinformatics community at large on pipeline development. The Bioinformatician may also devise or modify procedures to solve complex problems and work at a high technical level in all phases of bioinformatics support activities. Develops, executes, tests and rolls out project specific solutions. Shepherds projects to ensure they are managed in a timely and efficient manner and is appropriately documented. Provides follow up support services after initial project completion. 80% Design, development and implementation of software methodologies and computational tools as needed by projects 20% User training and support This at-will position is wholly or partially funded by contractual grant funding which is renewed under provisions set by the grantor of the contract. Employment will be contingent upon the continued receipt of these grant funds and satisfactory job performance. Education: -Doctoral degree in Bioinformatics, the Biological Sciences, Computer Science, or a related field required. -Masters or doctoral degree in Computer Science, Informatics, Bioinformatics, Biological Sciences or related field highly preferred. Experience: -Minimum of two years of experience in the field of bioinformatics required. -Experience in the bioinformatics of Next Generation sequencing technologies required. -Experience using languages such as Java, SQL, XML, with C++, Perl, PHP, and/or JavaScript required. -Experience with Linux and/or Unix required. -Experience in employing high performance computing to solve parallelizable compute problems preferred. -Experience providing bioinformatics services or other service roles preferred. -Experience in project management preferred. -Experience teaching bioinformatics to non-bioinformaticians preferred. Competencies: - Advanced knowledge in bioinformatics required. -Ability to train others required. -Advanced knowledge of high-throughput genomic technologies required. -Advanced knowledge of programming and/or scripting languages such as Perl or C/C++ required. -Knowledge of regulatory policies and procedures required. -Analytical skills required. -Problem-solving skills required. -Attention to detail required. -Basic knowledge of molecular biology required. -Basic knowledge of statistics required. -Organizational skills required. -Excellent verbal and written communication skills required. -Ability to work independently and as part of a team required. -Knowledge of Microsoft Office required. -Knowledge of HIPAA policies preferred.

Join us in transforming cancer research. The Center for Data Intensive Science is developing the emerging field of data science with a focus on applications to problems in biology, medicine, and health care. Our vision is a world in which researchers have ready access to the data and tools required to make discoveries that lead to deeper understanding and improved quality of life. We democratize access, speed discovery, create new knowledge and foster innovation through implementation using data at scale. Our scientific data clouds and commons include: The NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) is a next generation unified system that supports the hosting and standardization of genomic and clinical data from cancer research programs. The GDC provides the cancer research community with a data service supporting the receipt, quality control, integration, storage, and redistribution of standardized cancer genomic data sets derived from cancer studies. This is the foundation of a genomic precision medicine platform and will enable the development of a knowledge system for cancer. The GDC is an open-source, scalable, modern informatics framework that enables previously infeasible collaborative efforts between scientists. The Bionimbus Protected Data Cloud is an analysis plastform for bioinformatics at scale. Bionimbus is the first open-source cloud-based computational platform that allows researchers authorized by NIH to compute over human genomic data in a secure and compliant fashion. Bionimbus and related cloud-based infrastructure are used by researchers working on cancer, diabetes and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC) provides the scientific community with resources for storing, sharing, and analyzing terabyte- and petabyte-scale scientific datasets. The OSDC is a data science ecosystem in which researchers can house and share their own scientific data, access complementary public datasets, build and share customized virtual machines with whatever tools necessary to analyze their data, and perform the analysis to answer their research questions. The OSDC is a collaboration with the not-for-profit Open Cloud Consortium. The Biomedical Data Commons (BDC) is cloud-based infrastructure that we are developing for a consortium of medical research centers and commercial partners who provides secure, compliant cloud services for managing and analyzing genomic data, electronic medical records (EMR), medical images, and other PHI data. It provides resources to researchers so they can more easily make discoveries from large, complex controlled-access datasets. The BDC is a collaboration with the not-for-profit Open Cloud Consortium.
