Job Details

The Genomics Research Center (GRC) is a center of excellence for genetics and genomics that supports both Discovery and Development. The GRC plays an integral role towards our goal of developing extraordinary genetics and genomics research, focusing on finding the right targets and helping us better understand not only human disease biology but also the behavior of and response to our drugs in clinical trials! Within the GRC, the Department of Bioinformatics is responsible for data analysis and provides analytical insight for both internal and external data. This involves the identification and characterization of underlying genetic, epigenetic, or genomic factors that are associated with disease diagnosis, prognosis and response (efficacy and safety) to drug treatment, identification of new targets, and interpretation of the impact of genetic and genomic evidence from population-based studies. We have an outstanding opportunity for a Senior Engineer, Bioinformatics, based in Lake County, IL to join our team!

Key Responsibilities:
  • Optimize existing pipelines, workflows, and systems, as well as engineer new pipelines, workflows, and systems
  • Translate and implement algorithms and protocols in a high performance computing environment

  • Validated expertise in Linux environments, distributed computing, and HPC in local and cloud computing environments
  • Familiarity of standard tools and data formats related to gene expression, enrichment analysis, genetic, genomic, or epigenetic data (e.g, that which is encountered when analyzing high-throughput transcriptomic, whole exome, whole genome, whole methylome, GWAS, or targeted resequencing data)
  • Strong interpersonal skills in a collaborative environment
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience interpreting biological data related to diseases associated with cancer, neurodegenerative disease, immunological, or metabolic disorders are also desired
  • Experience analyzing and interpreting gene expression data for understanding disease mechanisms and model organism prioritization
  • Proficiency with consortium disease specific (like the Accelerating Medicines Partnership - Alzheimer's Disease, the Cancer Genome Atlas) or genomic databases (such as those relating to genome annotation, genetic variants, public data repositories)
