Bioinformatics Data Analyst

The Bioinformatics Core, part of the Molecular Profiling and Data Science group, is looking for a data analyst/developer to work in close collaboration with lab-based and computational biologists to develop and maintain innovative bioinformatics applications and solutions for diverse research projects. Some examples include next generation sequencing (NGS) data for diverse scientific purposes, generating guide-RNAs for CRISPR genome editing experiments, scientific dashboards and reporting applications for biostatistics, high-throughput phenotyping and gene expression assays, among others. Working in a bioinformatics core draws from skills in biology, data science, scientific application development and provides the opportunity to be exposed to and participate in Research-wide collaborations ranging from gene target discovery to the assessment of late-stage antibodies that drive Regeneron’s therapeutics.   

In this role, a typical day might include the following:  
•Develop and maintain bioinformatics web applications using programming languages such as R and Python.  

•Collaborate closely with experimentalists to understand their scientific and experimental needs and suggest appropriate computational approaches to shape future tech development.   

•Work with other bioinformaticians to enhance existing tools, pipelines, methodologies, and to develop standard processes.  

This job might be for you if:  
•Improving health outcomes is what drives your science.   

•You are passionate about understanding and applying efficient computational techniques to accelerate biological research.  
•You have a good work ethic and are proactive in providing solutions to foster scientific collaborations and drive projects forward.  
•Can effectively communicate complex concepts to collaborators from a wide range of backgrounds.  

To be considered for this role, you must have a MS degree in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics and allied fields, or a life science subject area with a bioinformatics component. Experience with data science, developing bioinformatics applications (e.g., next-generation sequencing analysis, querying bioinformatics databases APIs). Good background (at least 2 years) in at least one of the following scripting languages: Python, R. Familiarity with development environments such as RStudio, Jupyter, etc. Familiarity with code version control systems such as git, subversion, etc. Experience with front-end web application development frameworks (e.g., R-shiny, Python/Flask, Python/Django) and scientific data reporting would be a plus. Experience with database management systems such as MySQL a plus.
