Lab Informatics Consultant information

How does a Lab Informatics Consultant typically collaborate with laboratory staff and IT teams during system implementations?

A Lab Informatics Consultant works closely with both laboratory staff and IT teams to ensure that informatics solutions meet operational and regulatory needs. This often involves gathering user requirements, facilitating communications between scientists and technical teams, and translating lab workflows into system configurations. Consultants also provide training, troubleshoot integration issues, and support user adoption, acting as a bridge to ensure successful implementation and long-term system usability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Lab Informatics Consultant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Lab Informatics Consultant, you need strong analytical skills, a background in life sciences or information technology, and experience with laboratory workflows. Familiarity with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN), and relevant certifications like CLIA or CAP are typically required. Effective communication, problem-solving abilities, and project management skills set top consultants apart. These skills ensure successful implementation and optimization of informatics solutions that enhance lab efficiency, data integrity, and compliance.

What are Lab Informatics Consultants?

Lab Informatics Consultants are professionals who specialize in implementing, optimizing, and supporting information management systems within laboratory environments. They help labs select and configure Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELN), and other digital solutions to streamline data collection, analysis, and reporting. Their expertise ensures laboratories meet regulatory compliance, integrate new technologies, and improve overall efficiency. Lab Informatics Consultants often work with both scientific and IT teams to align technology with laboratory workflows.

Job description

The Center for Bioimage Informatics at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is seeking two Senior Image Data Scientists to design, develop, validate, document, and operate image-analysis pipelines and visualization solutions for biomedical imaging research. This role works closely with investigators, software engineers, data scientists, imaging facility scientists, and biostatisticians to translate scientific questions into reproducible, scalable analysis workflows using modern image analysis, statistical, computer vision, and machine learning approache
The successful candidate will support image data management, maintain analysis software and repositories, evaluate new methods and tools, and provide technical consultation and training to research teams. This role also serves as a project lead to coordinate image-analysis efforts, align related projects, and contribute to shared CBI infrastructure that supports routine and advanced bioimage analysis.
Applicant Statement:
Applicants are encouraged to include a brief cover letter or supplemental statement with a link to representative work, such as a public repository, napari plugin, published pipeline, or comparable artifact. The statement should briefly describe one end-to-end image-analysis project or software tool the applicant has owned in production, including the biological or scientific question, data scale, methods or model used, pipeline design, validation approach, user adoption, and resulting impact.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • PhD in a relevant quantitative, computational, biomedical, or scientific field.

  • Experience developing, validating, and maintaining image-analysis pipelines for biological or medical imaging data.

  • Strong programming skills in Python and experience with modern computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, or statistical image-analysis methods.

  • Experience with emerging AI methods relevant to bioimage analysis, including vision transformers, foundation models, generative AI, large language models (LLMs), or agentic AI tools.

  • Experience with scalable and reproducible scientific workflows (e.g., Snakemake, Nextflow), containers, version control, and HPC or cloud environments.

  • Demonstrated experience using modern bioimaging tools, data standards, and open-source ecosystems such as napari, ImageJ/Fiji, Cellpose, SAM-family and related foundation segmentation models, QuPath, BioFormats, OME-Zarr/NGFF, or similar platforms.

  • Experience with large image data volumes, image data management, quality control, benchmarking, annotation strategies, and method evaluation.

  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with research teams, communicate technical results clearly, write user-facing documentation, and provide training through courses, workshops, seminars, or similar formats.

  • Evidence of technical leadership, such as leading multi-lab projects, contributing to shared infrastructure, publishing methods, or contributing to open-source scientific software.

Minimum Education and/or Training:
  • Bachelor's degree in applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, computer science, data science, computer engineering or related field required.
  • Master's degree preferred.

Minimum Experience:
  • Minimum Requirement: Bachelor's degree with 3+ years of work experience in relevant area (e.g., applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, computer science, data science, computer engineering) required.
  • Experience Exception: Master's degree with 1+ years of relevant experience.
  • Experience in image analyses, image data management, and programming (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, Java, C/C++).
  • Experience in image analysis platforms (e.g., ImageJ/Fiji, CellProfiler), scientific computing, scientific data visualization, scientific computer code optimization and evaluation in an HPC environment, development of algorithms, statistical methods or scientific software, working with large image data volumes, biological/medical imaging preferred.
  • Proven performance in earlier role/comparable role.
