    BACKGROUND

    COMBATING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE THROUGH DATA SCIENCE

    Come join our team as a data scientist and be part of the solution.

    Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) is an internationally recognized medical research institute that has taken on the challenge of finding a cure for autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases, through a combination of advanced laboratory experimentation and carefully designed translational research programs. This means you can contribute to scientific advances that have a direct impact on people afflicted with these diseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, allergies and asthma.

    When choosing to devote your energy to improving human health, you want to be in a research environment that has the people and resources that enable success. At BRI we have:
    • Twenty five Principal Investigators who have dedicated their careers to understanding the immune system, discovering the fundamental nature of autoimmune disease, and finding a cure.
    • An autoimmune disease biobank containing over 200,000 samples available to research scientists, enabling critical discoveries in the foundations of autoimmune disease.
    • Access to clinical trial networks. Once potential therapeutics and diagnostics are identified, BRI can run clinical trials in one of the study networks we lead: Immune Tolerance Network, Diabetes TrialNet and T1D-Exchange Living Biobank.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    As a member of the Bioinformatics Core team, you will develop and apply the latest data science tools and techniques to analyze both public data sets and BRI's autoimmune disease profiling experiments. You will present your findings to individuals and in larger group meetings and potentially co-author papers. You will participate in experimental design and power analyses, as well as detailing proposed experiments and analyses for inclusion in grant proposals.

    REQUIREMENTS

    Advanced skills in biostatistics, bioinformatics, and genome sciences will be required. Experience in high-throughput sequence analysis, statistical data modeling, and data visualization is highly desirable. A solid command of statistical analysis tools, such as R and Bioconductor, is also essential. Familiarity with scripting or higher level programming languages (e.g. Python, Perl, Java) and database technologies is desirable.

    Requirements also include an B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in biostatistics, bioinformatics, biology, genome sciences, or related discipline; with a minimum of three years of post-graduate experience for Ph.D, six years for M.S., ten years for a B.S.; and excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills.

    ABOUT US

    The BRI collaborative research environment provides the opportunity to work across disciplines, with some of the leading researchers and clinicians in immunology. BRI research leadership has identified Bioinformatics as one of the key enabling technologies that will help them find the cure. This means that across BRI there is broad support for the collection, storage, integration, analysis, and visualization of research data.
