Opportunity: Bioinformatics Group Leader -- Center for Molecular Oncology (#BGL2016) @ Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center -- New York, NY (US)
BACKGROUND
Description:
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.
REQUIREMENTS
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.
Qualifications:
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
Duration: Full Time
