Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) is seeking a highly motivated Senior or Lead Bioinformatics Research Scientist.
Molecular Pathology at SJCRH uses NGS-based testing for oncology and genetic diagnosis for all patients managed at SJCRH, providing comprehensive molecular profiling for all cancer types to assist clinicians in determining disease diagnosis, risk stratification, prognosis, and treatment options, including targeted therapies and eligibility for clinical trials.
In this position, the scientist will focus on reviewing and analyzing tumor molecular profiling data generated by target-capture NGS testing and presenting curated genetic alterations to molecular pathologists.
This scientist will work closely with our bioinformatics pipeline and visualization teams to explore novel analysis approaches that aid panel NGS-based molecular classification and clinical reporting, and contribute ideas to automate and improve existing analysis methods.
The Molecular Pathology team provides a highly interactive environment with collaborative opportunities with the Computational Biology Department and Center of Applied Bioinformatics at SJCRH, access to high-performance pipelines and computing clusters, a cloud computing environment, innovative visualization tools, and mentorship from senior scientists with expertise in data analysis, data management and delivery of high-quality results.
This team supports strong teamwork as well as personal career development.
Responsibilities Performs data analysis, data visualization, and statistical analysis as needed.
Provides bioinformatics analysis on patients' samples, communicates the analytical processes and results with Molecular Pathologists, and assists in preparing clinical reports.
Supporting clinical assay validation experimental design, database development, mathematical modeling, and novel method development.
Contributes ideas to automate or improve existing analysis methods, and innovative algorithm development.
Supports clinical operations and lab informatics systems.
Assists in establishing and documenting protocols for best practices of NGS-based clinical tests.
Ensures that efficient and prompt help is provided to Molecular Pathology directors and faculty Assists molecular pathology leadership and faculty in conducting translational research to further improve molecular diagnostics at SJCRH.
