Job description

Position Purpose:   

A bioinformatics data scientist is responsible for providing experimental design consulting and data analysis for large, high-throughput genomic experiments, with a focus on forensics and metagenomics. The bioinformatics data scientist will be responsible for designing and implementing annotated code for managing, manipulating, and analyzing large-scale genomic data, and for preparing thorough documentation and reporting.

This position is a full-time, on-site role at the Signature Science office in Charlottesville, VA.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Develop tools for management, analysis and interpretation of high-density microarray and whole genome sequencing data.
  • Manage, manipulate, and analyze data using a combination of R, python, and UNIX tools.
  • Use established domain-specific open-source software and tools to manipulate and analyze genomic data.
  • Implement and execute data processing workflows and automated analytic pipelines.
  • ·     Apply literate‑programming methods to develop reproducible workflows that produce consistent, standardized tables and figures.
  • Conduct workflow benchmarking and documentation, identifying inconsistencies and resolving data problems.
  • Prepare SOPs, document source code/workflows, and write reports to summarize computational requirements, processing status, and customized analysis results.

Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

  • Advanced proficiency working in a Unix/Linux environment.
  • Advanced proficiency with open-source software, tools, and databases for analyzing next-generation sequencing data (whole-genome sequencing, RNA-seq, epigenetics, microbiome, and metagenomics).

  • Preferred: Familiarity with AWS and/or Azure cloud computing.

Education/Experience:

  • BA or BS in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or related field
  • Experience managing and analyzing large-scale datasets produced sequencing platforms and delivering solutions for managing, visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting genomic data
  • Experience using Linux/Unix text processing tools, R, and other open-source tooling to manipulate and format data, to assess data quality, and analyze data.

Clearance:

  • This position requires that the candidate be willing and able to complete a successful background screening for a security clearance. Candidates with a current security clearance will receive preference.

 

Supervisory Responsibilities:

  • May serve as a bioinformatics task lead.

 

Working Conditions/ Equipment:

  • Ability to work in varying conditions to include: traditional office environments with sedentary extended periods required for code development and testing.
