Summary

The laboratory of Dr. Cheryl Walker at Baylor College of Medicine is looking for a Bioinformatics Analyst II who will assist in cancer and genetic related multi-omics bioinformatics. The successful candidate will work primarily in prostate cancer, liver cancer, and kidney cancer related analysis. The Bioinformatics Analyst II will bridge high-throughput data generation data analysis, and molecular biology to integrate multi-modal molecular signatures in normal human and disease populations using bioinformatics and computational techniques and concepts.

Job Duties

• The job will include both molecular biology and use of state-of-the art analysis pipelines. Analysis will further incorporate advanced genome editing and data science techniques such as deep learning and classification to identify potential disease drivers or biomarkers, repurposable drugs, and novel clinical associations of molecular profiles.
• Manages, plans for, and analyzes genomics data to ensure objectives are met as required by project or supervisor. 
• Uses various computational analyses and biological interpretation of results to review existing data and propose improvements. 
• Reviews existing multimodal omics signatures, publicly available datasets, propose and execute integrative analysis.
• Interprets results from similarity searches and integration of investigator and publicly available datasets.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Genetics, Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, or a related field.
• One year of relevant experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in a related field.
