Overview
Location: 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, 92093 Position:
Research Data Analyst I - Hybrid Filing Deadline: Tue 10/14/2025 Hybrid schedule: combination of onsite at Campus and remote work.
Job Description The UC San Diego Department of Neurological Surgery is a leading neurosurgical center offering opportunities in clinical services, education, and research. The Beaumont and Furnari labs conduct translational cancer research focusing on brain tumor epigenomics, chromatin remodeling, and precision oncology, utilizing high-throughput sequencing and computational biology approaches. The Research Data Analyst I will assist with computational pipelines for epigenomic data analysis in cancer research, support biologists and clinicians in multidisciplinary projects, and help prepare data for publication and dissemination. Tasks include analysis of next-generation sequencing data (RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq) using Python and R, data management and archiving, creating figures for publications, depositing data to public servers (GEO), and developing GUI tools for data analysis. Collaboration with spatial computing experts to map epigenomic data in brain reference space; may perform additional duties as assigned.
Responsibilities
Assist with computational support for translational cancer research projects.
Develop bioinformatics tools and methodologies for multimodal epigenomic data analysis.
Prepare data and results for publication or dissemination (databases, websites, notebooks, etc.).
Analyze next-generation sequencing data (bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq) using Python and R; utilize local supercomputer resources.
Manage and archive large-scale datasets; create figures for publications; deposit data to public repositories (e.g., GEO).
Develop graphical user interfaces (GUI) for data analysis and collaborate with spatial computing experts on epigenomic maps.
Perform other duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications
Five years (5) of related experience, or a Bachelor's degree in Bioinformatics, Physics, Engineering, Math, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, or related area plus one year of related experience/training.
Programming experience including Python (through undergraduate courses or equivalent).
Practical experience with scientific computing environments such as R, Python, and Jupyter.
Knowledge of bioinformatics methods, computational biology tools, and statistics.
Ability to manage time and see assigned parts of projects through to completion on deadlines.
Basic consultation and communication skills; ability to document programs and analysis methodologies clearly.
Knowledge of operating systems (Windows, macOS, UNIX/Linux) and willingness to expand skills as needed.
Ability to design, develop and test algorithms; strong organizational and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in Bioinformatics or equivalent; experience in genomic and epigenetics analysis.
Experience in genomic sequence processing and alignment.
Oncology experience.
Special Conditions
Must be able to work various hours and locations based on business needs.
Employment is subject to a criminal background check.
Pay Transparency and Benefits Pay Transparency Act
Annual Full Pay Range: $65,800 - $115,000 (will be prorated if the appointment percentage is less than 100%)
Hourly Equivalent: $31.51 - $55.08
Factors in determining compensation include experience, skills, knowledge, abilities, education, licensure/certifications, and business needs. The posted annual pay range may be broader than the amount paid due to internal equity and bargaining agreements.
Compliance and Community If employed by the University of California, you must comply with vaccination requirements. Life-support certifications may require hands-on practice and in-person assessment. UC San Diego Health Sciences emphasizes translational research and invites you to join our team.
Applications/resumes are accepted for current openings only. For full consideration, apply before the initial closing date. UC San Diego is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and supports diversity in the workforce. For more information, visit UC San Diego Principles of Community.
UC San Diego is a smoke- and tobacco-free environment. UC San Diego Health maintains a drug-free environment; certain roles may require drug screening.
