About GREGoR Stanford Site : GREGoR Stanford Site (GSS), is one of 6 sites in the National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s Genomics Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare disease (GREGoR) Consortium. The GSS (https://gregor.stanford.edu/) mission is to provide a platform for functional genomics research and validation to improve diagnosis in Mendelian disease through integrated analysis of... multi-omics data. GSS is led by co-PIs Dr. Stephen Montgomery (Department of Pathology), Dr. Matthew Wheeler (Division of Cardiovascular Medicine) and Dr. Jon Bernstein (Division of Medical Genetics). At GSS, research participants who remain undiagnosed after exome sequencing will undergo short read and long read genome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, methylation assays, metabolomics and/or lipidomics assays. State-of-the art computational algorithms and new methods will be applied and developed to prioritize the variants and genes. The data will be analyzed in a secure and scalable manner using a HIPAA compliant cloud platform like AnVIL and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Novel causal variants and genes will be validated through state-of-the-art targeted approaches including massively parallel reporter assays, induced-pluripotent stem cell assays and CRISPR engineered cellular and mouse models. About the Position: We are seeking a highly talented and motivated Bioinformatics Engineer to support our GSS pipeline and data analysis team. Your role will focus on the development of pipelines and tools for comprehensive analysis of large amounts of molecular data generated by the GSS, with special emphasis on genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics datasets. You will also establish and support cloud infrastructure for storage and computation of the multi-omics data. Your ability to understand biological experiments, strong experience in the analysis of large-scale biological datasets, proficiency with programming languages and experience in high-performance computing environments or cloud will be a key resource in enabling high-quality data to flow through our systems to enable diagnosis and discovery of new disease-gene associations. A complete application will include CV and cover letter. Duties include: • Development of pipelines and tools for the comprehensive analysis of large amounts of multi-omics data being generated by the GSS. • Establish and maintain the cloud infrastructure for GSS on AnVIL and GCP. • Interact with GREGoR team members as well as external tool developers to implement new tools, algorithms, and updates. • Develop intuitive reports for molecular pipelines for tracking progress and quality metrics. • Track reports for problems with pipeline analysis and underlying data. • Extract relevant data from a variety of sources, including RESTful API services, databases and medical records. • Serve as a resource for bioinformatics inquiries from the clinical team members to access data or results from local cluster/cloud/external provider. • Work with stakeholders across the consortium to best understand data structures to model metadata schemas. • Mentorship to Junior Analysts with regards to primary analysis • Document and report as needed to fulfill grant and regulatory obligations. • – Other duties may also be assigned Due to the nature of the work, this position will be fully onsite. Desired Qualifications: • Graduate degree (Ph.D or M.S) that emphasizes bio/medical informatics, engineering, computer science and statistics are preferred. • Relevant work experience preferred, two or more years. • Domain expertise in analysis and running pipelines and bioinformatic tools for at least one of the following ‘omes: genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, atac-seq, proteomics. • Proficiency in Python and/or R and Linux bash scripting. • Experience with pipeline languages like WDL or snakemake or nextflow. • Proven track record of data and infrastructure management in a HPC (High Performance Computing) cluster or cloud computing like Google Cloud Platform or AWS. • Experience with container systems such as setting up virtual machines and docker instances. • Experience and knowledge of code management such as github. • Experience in systems biology approaches for data integration is a plus • Experience in developing tools and statistical methods for large-scale data analysis is a plus. • Biological domain knowledge (rare disease) is a plus. • Experience on bioinformatics and/or software development team-based projects. • Willingness to work in a highly collaborative environment.
