Position Summary Research Computing supports basic, translational, and clinical research by providing researchers with access to digital tools and technologies. Our computing environment consists of high-performance computing clusters, virtual machines, PetaByte-scale high-performance storage and cloud platforms. We work with BCH scientists to develop solutions in support of cutting-edge research ranging from lattice light-sheet microscopy to CryoEM, genomics, and informatics. The role will work with PhD-level bioinformatics scientists and researchers who have single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, proteomics and image data to investigate mouse and human diseases as well as with other pediatric scientists at BCH. The primary responsibilities will be building pipelines and web-based tools for the analysis, integration and sharing of these data. You will analyze, integrate different types of next-generation sequencing data and interpret the results and will have the opportunity to publish high-profile papers with prominent authorship depending on the intellectual contribution. The ideal candidate should have enthusiasm for developing collaborative relationships and a desire to foster the use of bioinformatics data in research studies.
