Biochemistry & Molecular Biology has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Bioinformatics Analyst position. The incumbent is available within the Telonis lab at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Miami, Florida for a basic research project studying the role of gene architecture in regulating gene expression in normal physiology and in disease, including cancer.
We are seeking a highly talented and motivated computer scientist to join the lab. The candidate should demonstrate expertise in software development, with emphasis in algorithms analyzing biological “omic” data, e.g. RNA-sequencing, ATAC-seq, HiC, ChIP-seq. Prior experience in machine learning (artificial intelligence, AI) is preferred but not required. It is expected that the candidate will have the ability to develop, curate and maintain novel AI-based computational pipelines or apply existing bioinformatic tools for biological discovery.
JOB FUNCTIONS
Develops and maintains next generation data analysis pipelines.
Assists in analysis pipeline and algorithms development and validation.
Extracts features of interest from data relating to specific biological questions.
Contributes to the development and maintenance of genomic and clinical databases.
Performs statistical and integrative data analysis on genomics and clinical data.
Supervises team members and other data analysts.
Establishes standard operating procedures, documentation, and scripts to generate custom reports.
Progresses material for bioinformatics tutorials and training courses.
Tests the characterization and integration of diverse third-party bioinformatics algorithms.
Adheres to University and unit-level policies and procedures and safeguards University assets.
This list of duties and responsibilities is not intended to be all-inclusive and may be expanded to include other duties or responsibilities as necessary.
CORE QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s Degree in relevant field; Masters in computer science, or bioinformatics- preferred.
Minimum 3 years of relevant experience
Department Specific Functions
Being responsible for the curation and analysis of “omic” biological data, including data from RNA-sequencing, DNA methylation, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, HiC experiments.
Development, maintenance and optimization of computational software (“pipelines”) for the analysis and mining of “omic” biological data.
Developing and applying machine learning (Artificial Intelligence, AI) algorithms for answering biological questions on “omic” datasets.
Work with version control systems to manage the lab’s code repositories and facilitate team collaboration.
Assist with other lab members’ research and coding efforts, including code review to ensure code quality, performance and share knowledge.
Participate in scheduled lab meetings within the lab, department or with collaborators.
Evidence of scholarly ability (e.g. record of publication in peer-reviewed journals).
