    BACKGROUND

    The Hide Lab at the Harvard School of Public Heath performs research on stem cells and proliferation and seeks a key member of a team working to understand the process by which stem cells utilize pathways that become involved in proliferation and cancers. Working closely with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, you will help provide tools and data manipulation that enables the stem cell community to understand the processes of cancer. We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic bioinformatics software engineer to participate at all levels in the development of an integrated data management and analysis system for stem cell research. The candidate will be keen to develop their ideas in an environment where experience and delivery are regarded highly.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    • Work closely with the project manager and scientific end-users to create and evaluate requirements to support the delivery of an integrated stem cell data management and analysis system.
    • Design, engineer and deploy custom and available open source application solutions for the stem cell data management and analysis system.
    • Implement user access controls and data security measures where appropriate.
    • Create and maintain systems level documentation of processes, databases, applications as required.
    • Assist Hide Lab post-docs in the development of creative data visualization solutions and other analysis tasks as needed.
    • Provide grant and manuscript level write ups of software solutions and analysis methods.
    • Perform other duties relevant to data management and analysis for the Lab as assigned.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Bioinformatics related degree or B.S. degree with 4 years related experience
    • Demonstrated experience in web application development and the adaptation and integration of heterogeneous biological software solutions
    • Expert knowledge of at least one programming or scripting language; C++, Java, Python, Perl
    • Experience with bioinformatics tools and data repositories
    • Ability to multitask and accommodate shifting priorities

    PREFERENCES
