The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto is looking for talented and motivated Bioinformatics Analyst to work on clinical genomics and genetic disease. The successful candidate will join a robust translational research team employing modern sequence-based techniques including whole genome sequencing to better diagnose and treat genetic disease. The group situated in the Division of Genome Diagnostics works closely with The Centre for Applied Genomics and the Centre for Genetic Medicine. This is a unique opportunity to use your informatics skills to impact patient care.
Genome Diagnostics is the largest CLIA certified laboratory in Canada and is working on a number of projects, whose aims include:
• Incorporating next-generation genomic sequencing into routine clinical practice.
• Developing novel diagnostic tests using exome and genome sequencing.
• Testing new cutting edge molecular biology assays, which incorporate automation
Here's What You'll Get To Do
• Develop and maintain custom software as well as utilize commercial and open source software to help understand clinical genomic data and to support ongoing translational research activities.
• Keep abreast of new and emerging technologies, and suggest new ways of analyzing and integrating very large data sets.
• Work with genome scientists and genetic counselors to ensure the bioinformatics tools are incorporated into the clinical workflow to meet the need for efficient and correct interpretation of genomic data in the diagnostic process.
• Work within a team of bioinformaticians, genome scientists and genetic counsellors on challenging problems and benefit from an intellectually stimulating and very well-resourced environment.
Here's What You'll Need
• Minimum of a Masters degree in a relevant field such as bioinformatics, mathematics or computer science.
• Advanced understanding of computer science and bioinformatics.
• Experience with genome-wide data and next-generation sequencing analysis
• Demonstrated programming abilities (C, Perl, Python etc.) and familiarity with Unix, and high-performance computing.
• Familiarity with statistical genomics and/or advanced web development is also an asset.
