    BACKGROUND

    The Knowledge Systems Group (KSG) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is seeking an experienced Bioinformatics Data Manager to spearhead multiple bioinformatics "big data" projects. The role is primarily focused on making standardized genomic and clinical data sets available to the scientific community via open-access, open-source platforms. The Knowledge Systems Group (KSG) is an applied bioinformatics group focused on developing open-source platforms for cancer genomics research and precision cancer medicine. We are computational biologists, software engineers, and project managers, all united in using our skills to make a difference in cancer patients' lives. We support several projects, including the NCI Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), the Cancer Immunologic Data Commons (CIDC), and the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics. We also support DFCI's institutional clinical sequencing and precision cancer medicine initiatives.

    Due to COVID-19, KSG is currently in hybrid mode, with most members working remotely, but some members working on site 2-3 days / week. For this position, we are open to remote/hybrid workers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island.

    • Consulting with external stakeholders to understand and define consortium requirements regarding data access, data analysis, and data sharing.
    • Understanding new genomic assays and defining new data standards.
    • Understanding and defining clinical data standards and creating clinical data mappings for harmonized clinical data sets.
    • Translating consortium requirements into well-defined project specifications for handoff to software engineering team.
    • Integrating and harmonizing data sets in preparation for cross-trial and cross-cancer analysis.
    • Working with data producers and ensuring the transfer of new, standardized data sets into cloud-based data sharing platforms.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Strong background and interest in cancer genomics.
    • Strong background and interest in open access science.
    • MS or PhD in bioinformatics or computational biology.
    • Experience developing genomic and clinical data standards and ontologies.
