The Bioinformatics Pipeline Engineer will work as part of the New York Center for Rare Diseases (NYCRD) at Montefiore-Einstein. They will work closely with the Variant Interpretation Scientist to develop, implement, maintain and upgrade the software needed to analyse genomic data, using computationally efficient and secure pipelines within a local high-performance computing or remote cloud architecture. While current short-read sequencing technology will be part of their responsibility, they will focus innovation on long-read sequencing data, and on the incorporation of Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms in the diagnostic process. Towards the latter goal, they will maintain and further develop our GenomeDiver software and interface, and work with the team from the Center for Health Data Innovations (CHDI) at Montefiore-Einstein on the ingestion of HPO terms mined using Natural Language Processing from patient notes in the electronic health record system. The goal will be to discover the genetic cause of the patient’s rare disease, working in an innovation environment with internal and external colleagues committed to improving rare disease diagnostics and promoting equity in diagnostics in individuals of all genetic ancestries. The position requires being on-site but with flexibility to build a hybrid model once the NYCRD infrastructure is developed.RequirementsBachelor's degree required (advanced degree such as a Master's Degree or a doctoral MD or PhD degree strongly advantageous)At least 3 years of relevant experience requiredPython or R basic competencySQL basic competencyExperience in building, maintaining, and troubleshooting analytical workflows for massively-parallel sequencing data in high-performance computing and cloud environments.Department:
