JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: Our unique program focuses on how to interpret genetic variations that cause human diseases. We leverage multi-disciplinary approaches, including Big Genomics Data, systems biology, computational biophysics, biochemistry, and structural bioinformatics, to develop a more comprehensive and integrated understanding of the underlying mechanisms of diseases. For the current employment opportunity, we are seeking a data analyst who is familiar with the AllofUs Workbench platform, capable in basic epidemiology analysis, and proficient at data visualization and summarization. The successful candidate will join our productive team in chromatinopathies research. They will work with our multi-disciplinary group of computational scientists, rare disease clinicians, laboratory technicians, and faculty, to operate the workflow and team-based process that we have developed. We are seeking a motivated and skilled data scientist, who will thrive in a team environment where they will work collaboratively and independently to analyze diverse data and synthesize it in reports to the team and academic publication. Preferred Schedule: 8am-4pm or 9am-5pm Position Requirements: Primary Functions 1. Understands principles of biology and the interpretation of analytic results. Independently provides troubleshooting for code generation, data gathering (e.g. AllofUs), processing, and presentaiton. 2. Develops, implements, and refines informatic workflows for visualizing phenotypic, genomic, and additional linked data per the scientific needs of our program. 3. Adapts data science tools, visualization packages, and annotation resources to perform research analysis independently and accurately - flexibility and competency in data wrangling. 4.
