Bioinformatician, Part-time - Genetics & Genomic Sciences

The Bioinformatician, Part-Time, partners with researchers/biologists on innovative genomic analyses of structural variation, epigenetics, and gene expression in an integrated environment combining experimental and bioinformatic approaches to human disease. S/he leads a variety of projects and gains exposure to many productive areas of research, and develops/supports multiple research projects by delivering bioinformatics services for bio-medical data from cutting-edge genomic technologies.

• Develops and may perform a lead role for a variety of bioinformatics analysis projects, including development of Varimpact, an impact database of generic variants.
• Writes custom scripts for analysis of genomic data derived from high-throughput techniques
• Manages databases, conducts statistical and genomic analysis, and participates in the preparation of manuscripts and presentations.
• Collaborates with wet-bench biologists and works independently to analyze data derived from several types of projects using microarrays and high-throughput sequencing.
• Conducts analysis of microarray and high-throughput sequencing data, genome sequence analysis, experimental design and statistical analysis.
• Performs quality control and analysis.
