What is a Part Time Bioinformatics job?

A part-time bioinformatics job involves analyzing biological data using computational tools and techniques while working fewer hours than a full-time position. Responsibilities may include coding, data analysis, and algorithm development for tasks such as genomics, proteomics, or drug discovery. These roles are ideal for students, researchers, or professionals seeking flexible work schedules. Opportunities exist in academia, healthcare, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. Part-time bioinformatics jobs may be remote or on-site, depending on the employer's needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Part Time Bioinformatics position, and why are they important?

To excel as a Part Time Bioinformatics professional, you typically need a background in bioinformatics, molecular biology, computer science, or a related discipline, along with experience in data analysis and scripting languages such as Python or R. Familiarity with bioinformatics tools (like BLAST, GATK, or Bioconductor), handling large datasets, and version control systems (e.g., Git) is highly valued. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are vital for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These skills are crucial for accurately analyzing biological data, supporting research projects, and efficiently contributing in a flexible, part-time setting.

What are the typical responsibilities of a part time bioinformatics professional?

Part time bioinformatics professionals often assist with analyzing genomic or proteomic data, developing or maintaining data pipelines, and supporting ongoing research projects. Their work may include managing databases, writing scripts for data processing, and generating reports or visualizations for team members. Collaboration is common, as you may interact with biologists, statisticians, and other computational scientists to interpret findings and ensure research objectives are met. Since the position is part time, tasks are typically project-based and prioritize flexible scheduling to fit organizational needs.

These positions are renewable. Compensation is dependent on qualifications. These positions are benefits ineligible.
Demand for more sophisticated health information systems and medical research methodologies is rapidly growing due to advances in technology, volume of available health data, and policy initiatives. With a high premium placed on improved delivery of care, therapeutics and outcomes, the skills students acquire in the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics prepare them to master the foundation of informatics and develop solutions to address these growing needs and current healthcare challenges.
The program operates remotely and on a quarterly schedule, with 9 or 10 weeks of instruction per quarter. Appointees will teach from the following list of courses:
• Introduction to Biostatistics
• Introduction to R Programming
• Overview of Clinical Care Systems
• Introduction to Biomedical Informatics
• Leadership and Innovation for Informatics
• Concepts in Computer Programming
• Ethics and Policy Questions: Genomics, Healthcare and Big Data
• Introduction to Applied Data Analysis
• Advanced Concepts in Computer Programming
• Intermediate Applied Data Analysis
• HIT Integration, Interoperability Standards
• Decision Support Systems & Health Care
• Introduction to Bioinformatics
• Advanced Bioinformatics: Genome Analysis
• Geographic Information Systems and Health Information
• Population Health Informatics
• Machine Learning for Biomedical Informatics
• Capstone Proposal and Research Methods
• Capstone Implementation, Writing and Presentation
Appointees will be required to develop the syllabus, synchronous class content for remote sessions, asynchronous content, assignments, and provide timely assignment feedback and grade submission(s). They will also need to manage the Canvas course site, attend all class sessions, hold weekly office hours, attend quarterly instructor meetings, participate in the capstone project process and co-curricular programming.
Prior to starting employment, qualified applicants must have 1) a graduate-level degree in a relevant field and 2) have relevant experience in biomedical informatics, clinical care, medical research, or practical experience in health care related fields.
Candidates with prior teaching experience and/or relevant practical experience are strongly preferred. Additionally, candidates with a PhD and/or MD are preferred.
To be considered, those interested must apply through The University of Chicago's Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: https://apply.interfolio.com/181100.
