Under supervision of the PI, the incumbent will perform programming and/or assist in design and analysis of systems to decipher the role of genetic variants, including Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), Structural Variants (SVs), Insertion Deletion polymorphisms (INDELS) and Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) in human disease. The incumbent will be responsible for maintaining computational pipelines for processing, analyzing, and visualizing large volumes of whole genome sequence, RNA sequencing and other genome-wide datasets. Pipelines will consist of open source as well as custom software. The incumbent will also develop and maintain web applications and assist in packaging custom software as open source tools. Additional duties will include helping manage the group's compute resources and performing systems administration tasks. Finally, the incumbent will occasionally be required to coordinate with an international team of scientists to develop data acquisition and analysis strategies.
Under direct supervision, applies professional bioinformatics concepts and computational procedures to complete small projects or portions of projects. Works on assignments of limited scope and complexity. Follows standard programming procedures to analyze situations and data from which answers can be readily obtained.
