Job description


Job Function Summary:
Involves developing and utilizing computational tools and systems to analyze and interpret biological or other research data. Utilizes and develops algorithms, computational techniques, and standard statistical methodologies. Helps in the design of new experiments and leads the execution of building machine learning and statistical models. Implements end-user needs in database development, maintenance, searching, and integration. Maintains computational infrastructure and manages and tracks the flow of samples and information for large-scale studies. Provides bioinformatics and access to public and proprietary databases. Manages cloud and on-premises computational infrastructure and data.
Generic Scope
Professional who applies acquired job skills, policies, and procedures to complete substantive assignments / projects / tasks of moderate scope and complexity; exercises judgment within defined guidelines and practices to determine appropriate action.
Custom Scope
Our research efforts are at the intersection of cardiovascular disease and human genetics. Our clinical research efforts employ new techniques for deep phenotyping, such as deep learning. But these techniques rely on a solid foundation of classical bioinformatics. The Bioinformatics Programmer/Data Scientist will assist in managing, cleaning, and analyzing large scale medical data using a wide variety of analytic techniques, both in the cloud and with on-premises compute depending on data permissions. Experience with a cloud provider such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud is a plus, and ability to learn how to manage cloud-based pipelines, and to perform cloud data management will be essential skills to develop and maintain. Maintaining bioinformatic databases by obtaining and restructuring data, including both UCSF proprietary data and public data, and writing tools to streamline discovery and replication analyses using these databases will be core responsibilities. An important task will be writing and maintaining analytic pipelines in languages such as R, python, Go, Rust, shell, SQL, WDL, and/or other appropriate languages, and using tools such as Docker. Experience with databases or the ability to learn will be requisite. Under the supervision of the PI, the Data Scientist will also be involved in data analysis, and will be comfortable with bioinformatic analyses including variant calling and annotation. There will be opportunities to employ cutting-edge methods and to develop new methods. The ability to learn and implement new techniques depending on the problem at hand will be an essential skill, thus requiring a strong foundation in computer programming. This position will also include administrative duties and will have the opportunity to participate in-and to lead-authorship teams.
