Bioinformatics Analyst II

The Bioinformatics Analyst II will lead innovative research projects focused on studying the molecular mechanisms of arrhythmias with emphasis on conduction system diseases. To identify these pathways, the Analyst will analyze and integrate data from mouse models, human tissue, iPSC‑derived pacemaker‑like cells, and cutting‑edge single‑cell RNA‐sequencing approaches using bioinformatics tools and AI. The candidate should have experience in single‑cell and bulk‑tissue multi‑omics data analysis and will participate in multiple projects involving design, implementation, and integration of large‑scale datasets and data processing pipelines.

• Plans and conducts experiments, analyzes data, and prepares publications describing results.
• Implements and analyzes single‑cell RNA‑Sequencing, single‑cell ATAC‑Seq, CITE‑Seq, bulk RNA‑Seq, proteomics, and metabolomics generated from mouse and patient cohorts with rich clinical data, and performs advanced modeling of arrhythmias using generalized linear models and machine learning.
• Helps in training and mentoring lab personnel, including graduate and undergraduate students.
• Maintains good communication with lab leader and members.
• Reads and evaluates literature.
• Attends scientific networking workshops and conferences.
• Writes grants for extramural funding with the assistance of a faculty mentoring team.
• Performs other job‑related duties as assigned.

• Bachelor's degree in Genetics, Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, or a related field.
• At least one year of relevant experience.

• Master's degree in a related field.
• Experience with R or Python.
• Experience with machine learning and AI.
