The NICHD Division of Intramural Research (DIR) depends on advanced information technology (IT) infrastructure, bioinformatics, and computer technology to support its mission and research in more than 70 laboratories. Our goal is to establish a bioinformatics/IT group where science comes first and nothing is impossible.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Office of the Scientific Director is seeking a bioinformaticist who will also serve as a leader for bioinformatics and IT programs in the NICHD DIR. This individual will lead a team directly focused on advanced bioinformatics as well as IT support. Responsibilities include researching, securing, custom designing, and applying cutting-edge bioinformatics solutions, products, and support, as well as representing the IT interests of the DIR to NICHD and NIH-wide committees and workgroups. The successful candidate will support a variety of biomedical computing needs, as well as conducting his or her own pioneering bioinformatics research.

REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate will have a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent) and a demonstrated record of accomplishment in scientific and research computing to support a scientific enterprise focused on biomedical research. The position, due to its cross-cutting nature, requires an individual who is highly collaborative, is comfortable tackling scientific computing interests in a scientifically diverse environment, has strong oral and written communication skills, can build and manage an effective and productive team, and keeps abreast of the most current technological advances in support of both scientific and business computing strategy. Knowledge of the following areas is highly desired: academic scientific culture, scientific computing solution development in the research and research administration space, information technology security principles, clinical and basic research data management strategies, high performance computing hardware and software systems, scientific- and data-driven computational approaches, and content management systems. More detailed information about the NICHD DIR may be found at https://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/org/dir/Pages/index.aspx
