Bioinformatics Analyst I
Job ID: req3887
Employee Type: exempt part-time
Division: Basic Science Program
Facility: NIH
Location: NIH Campus 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA
The Frederick National Laboratory is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. The lab addresses some of the most urgent and intractable problems in the biomedical sciences in cancer and AIDS, drug development and first-in-human clinical trials, applications of nanotechnology in medicine, and rapid response to emerging threats of infectious diseases.
Accountability, Compassion, Collaboration, Dedication, Integrity and Versatility; it's the FNL way.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Basic Science Program (BSP) pursues independent, multidisciplinary research in basic and applied molecular biology, immunology, retrovirology, cancer biology, and human genetics. Research efforts are an integral part of the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR). The Microbiome & Genetics Core is a component of the BSP and is embedded in the Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology (LICI) and supports NIH-wide research into the role of the microbiota and of host immune genetics in multiple aspects of health-related research. Much of the core's work involves bioinformatic processing and analysis of genetic sequence data as well as the statistical evaluation of differences in outcomes between different samples or cohorts. The processing of data is undertaken by a bioinformatics team combining both specialists for in-depth analyses and generalists who can collect, collate, and conduct primary analysis of routine data.
KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES
The Bioinformatics Analyst I will provide bioinformatics support to ongoing research conducted by investigators in LICI. This support involves broad implementation of statistical models and data preparation, the ability to undertake data analysis utilizing a broad spectrum of statistical software and write program codes on platforms such as SAS, R and S-Plus. This work will require basic knowledge of experimental techniques, genetics, and immunology in order to facilitate interactions with investigators.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
To be considered for this position, you must minimally meet the knowledge, skills, and abilities listed below:
Commitment to Diversity
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, ethnicity, age, national origin, citizenship, religion, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, family structure, marital status, ancestry, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran or military status, or any other basis prohibited by law. Leidos will also consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with relevant laws.
