Senior Bioinformatician

Bioinformatics Analyst

Responsible for combining research in biology, medicine, and health-related studies with information technology in order to collect and interpret data covering a range of fields, such as genetics or pharmaceutics. This role develops mathematical models, conducts dynamic simulations, and analyzes patterns in biological systems.

Essential Functions:

• Independently design and execute bioinformatics analyses and research projects on small to mid-scale projects.
• Develop and optimize data analysis pipelines and workflows.
• Collaborate with scientists and researchers to define analysis goals and interpret results.
• Provide technical expertise and support for bioinformatics tools and software.
• Train junior scientists and provide technical guidance.
• Analyze data quality and integrity of data output from existing algorithms as part of the complex, multi-step specimen tracking and reporting process, across multiple systems and web-based interfaces.
• Develop new, innovative tools to enhance quality assurance reviews and improve assay and system performance.
• Design and apply novel computational methods/bioinformatics algorithms, machine learning models for building data models and tools using various software and statistical tools to aid in the analysis and interpretation of genetic data, clinical data, and images (NGS Algorithm development, Machine Learning).
• Analyze large molecular datasets from tumor sequencing to critically review and evaluate specimen testing results, working closely with faculty and staff to troubleshoot problems, recommend technology-based solutions, or determine computational strategies.
