Essential Job Functions:
• Work in collaboration with scientists and core staff to address research questions involving the analysis of next-generation sequencing data.
• Design, build, maintain and run software pipelines for aligning and performing statistical analyses on very large collections of DNA and RNA sequencing data.
• Identify problems encountered during data release process and troubleshoot these problems.
• Responsible for preparation of data files and statistical reports for project release.
• Identify systematic problems with data related to lab or data cleaning methods, software, or personnel.
• Contribute to the local protocol development and the preparation of research grant applications in the collaborative setting.
• Contribute to the local protocol development and the preparation of research grant applications in the collaborative setting.
• Write computer codes in a procedural-oriented computer language to accomplish the actual statistical analysis; select the appropriate computing environment (PC, minicomputer, or mainframe).
• Interpret and analyze the results of statistical analyses.
• Discuss with colleagues, investigators, and supervisor the need for any additional analyses and/or special methodologic needs.
• Prepare written reports of statistical analyses, including relevant statistical theory, references, methods, results, and conclusions.
• Maintain appropriate systems for database associated management.
