Opportunity: Bioinformatics Associate Research Scientist (#31591) @ St. Jude Children's Research Hospital -- Memphis, TN (US)
Submitted by Joanna Jones; posted on Thursday, September 19, 2013
BACKGROUND
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, is one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Children from all 50 states and from around the world have come through the doors of St. Jude for treatment, and thousands more around the world have benefited from the research conducted at St. Jude - research that is shared freely with the global medical community. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance. No child is denied treatment because of a family's inability to pay.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Bioinformatics Associate Research Scientist in the Clinical Application Core Technology Department provides expert bioinformatics support for pediatric oncogenomics research. Collaborates with Pathology/Oncology investigators to enhance understanding of cancer biology through in-depth computational analysis of genomic datasets obtained from primary cancer samples and experimental models. Applies known methods and/or develops novel computational and statistical methods to help analyze genomic data and associated information, including gene expression, SNP chip, array-CGH, epigenetic, microRNA and high-throughput sequencing data. Assists in building necessary software infrastructure and tools to facilitate analysis. Assists in preparing and submitting manuscripts for publication and participates in independent bioinformatics research. (MJP)
