Group Leader, Platform Bioinformatics
Main Function:
The group leader will direct a new bioinformatics group in the MSKCC Center for Molecular Oncology, a program developed to lead large-scale translational and clinical research and promote “precision” medicine through tumor molecular profiling. He/she will supervise a group of engineers, programmers and computational scientists to develop and utilize software and database systems to track and manage laboratory processes, catalyze technology development, and analyze “next-generation” sequence data primarily from human tumors. He/she will work closely with CMO leadership, experimental and computational biologists, and technical staff in the Center. He/she will also assist clinical and translational researchers with analysis of core genomic projects.
Knowledge Required:
Highly organized and self-directed individual to work in a dynamic, team-oriented environment. MS degree required, PhD degree strongly desired in bioinformatics, computer science, genomics, or relevant field. At least 7-10 years of postgraduate training in academic or industry research is required with expertise operating in a high-throughput production environment. Cross-disciplinary and strong analytic skills, as well as broad experience with bioinformatics methods, databases, software, and computer programming languages are essential. Previous managerial experience of a multifaceted group is mandatory.
Thorough experience with the following is required:
- UNIX environment
- Next-generation sequence analysis packages (e.g. Picard, Samtools, GATK)
- Advanced programming skills
- Database management (e.g., both SQL and modern noSQL systems)
- Statistical packages (e.g., R)
- High performance computing
Essential Skills:
- Outstanding commutation and interpersonal skills
- Detailed expertise and proven track record with bioinformatics concepts, methods, and tools
- Strong organizational and troubleshooting abilities
- Familiarity with genomic technologies
- Proficiency with genomic data, tools, and databases
- Experience with human cancer bioinformatics analysis desired
- Demonstrated attention to detail and analytical skills
- Excellent time management skills, especially involved the simultaneous management of multiple projects
- Experience in software management strongly desired
- Leadership skills and ability to work well in a team environment
- Passion for science and desire to impact cancer
