POSITION SUMMARY
We are looking for an experienced biomedical informatics developer to join a dynamic project team developing the next generation of drug target identification and development tools for biomedical researchers.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Essential Functions:
• Develop software for integration of heterogeous biological data types using semantic web as well as traditional bioinformatics techniques
• Implement hypothesis identification, comparison, and scoring analytics for knowledge-based computational systems biology system that enables biomedical researchers to make effective drug target selection decisions
• Performance tuning and optimization of algorithms and bioinformatics data processing pipelines
• Participate in the design and implementation of data sources used by analytics
Marginal Functions:
• Extend and integrate computable disease models used by analytics
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES
• Strong applied math skills in graph theory and statistics, ability to reason using summary statistics
• Understanding of target identification approaches for drug discovery
• Demonstrated ability to develop innovative ideas and execute effectively against them in a highly collaborative environment
• Familiarity with biomedical ontologies (e.g. GO, UMLS), biomedical data exchange formats (e.g. SBML, BioPax), and biomedical databases (e.g. MEDLINE)
• Working understanding of molecular and cellular biology concepts, and eagerness to help advance biomedical discovery
• Knowledge of scientific computing workflows, including analytics, visualization and pipeline workflow for data processing
• Ability to work effectively in an agile, release-early release-often development environment
• Ability to select among existing methodologies and tools, and where necessary develop new approaches, to drive design processes and communicate design rationales
• Exceptional analytic thinking and demonstrated ability to independently analyze large-scale datasets
• Expert Excel skills and ability to use basic statistical packages (e.g. R)
• Strong visual, verbal, and written communication skills
EXPERIENCE
Minimum
• Experience using biomedical ontologies (MeSH, UMLS, GO, etc), controlled vocabularies, or semantic datasets (RDFS, OWL, etc)
• Experience developing scientific analytics or pipelines used in drug discovery workflows
Preferred
• Experience developing in an agile team-based environment, including knowledge of SVN, continuous integration, etc.
• Experience developing web-based front-ends for scientific computing resources, with an understanding of modern web frameworks
• 3+ years experience programming Java
EDUCATION
Minimum
• 5+ years bioinformatics experience with a MS or higher degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or related field
Preferred
• 7+ years industry experience with a PhD in Biomedical Informatics
