Job Description:
Responsibilities: The Senior Bioinformatics Scientist oversees the analysis and management of high throughput data generated by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) or high throughput arrays for the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Infectious Diseases. The individual will work closely with other UCLA scientists, physicians, bioinformatics analysts and biostatisticians to provide customized solutions for a broad variety of biological experiments in the area of infectious diseases and general medicine. This person wil assist with managing, analyzing, and interpreting data generated by parallel detection systems used in genomics, transcriptomics, microbiomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics. The successful candidate will implement both software and hardware applications/systems supporting scientific data work-flow processes and develop pipelines. He/she also provides research suppot to investigators and assists in training investigators and new users to use bioinformatics applications and databases. The Senior Bioinformatics Scientist participates in the bioinformatics group's independent research and assists in preparing and submitting manuscripts for publication. He/She also plays a leadership role in recruiting and managing junior bioinformatics analysts and scientists. The incumbent independently prioritizes assignments and completes ongoing tasks. Other assignments are made by the Principal Investigator(s) on a project basis, and the incumbent is frequently expected to use his/her own judgment to determine the most appropriate and efficient method of completing the analyses and preparing manuscripts.
