Computational biologist. Resolves routine programming problems, applying established data processing algorithms to novel data. Works on issues and projects of limited scope. Follows standard programming procedures to analyze situations and data from which answers can be readily obtained. Maintains repositories of published code and answers outside user requests. Aids in the publications of research results. Proficiency in Python, R, Linux, and git version control systems required. AWS experience is a plus. Understanding of major biological data types (genomic SNPs, single-cell RNA-seq expression, protein-protein interaction networks, ATAC-seq, Chip-seq) is required.

Will design and develop bioinformatic programs and pipelines to process genomics data. Responsible for lab computer and software maintenance and coordination with other computer facilities.

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.
