Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation
Biological Data Computation Support
Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation, Frederick, Maryland, United States, 21701
Title : Biological Data Computation Support
Location : On Site, Frederick, MD
Status : Full Time
Travel : >5%
Salary Range : $80,000-$120,000
Position Summary : USAMRIID, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland, works closely with other U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) organizations, Department of Defense (DoD), the Interagency (including Interagency Laboratories), and private companies to accomplish its mission of protecting the Warfighter from biological threats and being prepared to investigate disease outbreaks or threats to public health. This includes conducting Research, Development, Testing, & Evaluation (RDTE) of medical countermeasure against biological threats and the safety, quality assurance, project management, and core support required for these research activities. The Molecular Biology Division works to combat biological threats and weapons of mass destruction by developing high-throughput sequencing and protein profiling to identify emerging pathogens. It also evaluates and improves medical countermeasures, follows the DoD's roadmap for their development, and ensures their ethical use, including FDA approval. The Division also explores expanding indications and combinations with existing countermeasures. The Biological Data Computation Support will collect the data generated from high-content imaging platform and in collaboration with the Information Technology team support the generation of a database that will capture all the relevant metadata generated from the high-throughput screens. The staff member will capture and integrate the biological and small molecule chemical data to support data entry into the database and provide expertise in assessments of the data that will enable down selecting drug candidates and drive the therapeutic product development against biothreat agents. This position is contingent upon contract award. Duties/Responsibilities : Assess the workflow of high-throughput screening platform and identify the requirements and relevant fields to capture the chemical and biological data attributes that will support the configuration of a searchable database. Support migration of the screening, chemical and ADME data into the database and management of the data in the database, while providing first in class analytical and reporting tools to drive decisions of down selecting promising small molecules for product development. Perform self-directed exploration and analysis of the dataset generated from the phenotypic screens, including use of relevant R packages, spreadsheets, graphics and statistical programs that will help predict the behavior of a complex biological system or mechanistic basis for physiological and pathological responses to infection or therapeutic treatment, and that can be employed to design of the new or better drugs that are specific to the pathogen. Apply their computational skills and biological background to develop computational tools that will support better approaches to integrate the screening data and metadata associated with the biological assays or chemical. Communicate experimental data, laboratory or other work-related issues to the appropriate POC. Communicate with vendors for technical support and troubleshooting laboratory equipment. Assist in the reporting and communication of the test results, preparation of technical reports, standard operating procedures and manuscripts. Present research findings at least one scientific conference per year, if required, which may require CONUS and/or OCONUS travel. Minimum Requirements : Bachelors degree or higher in molecular biology, data science or related field. Masters preferred. 3+ years of experience in biological computation. Experience developing computational tools. Experience in data migration and database management. Experience analyzing the dataset generated from the phenotypic screens, including use of relevant R packages, spreadsheets, graphics and statistical programs. Must be able to obtain/maintain a Secret clearance. Active Secret clearance preferred. Work Environment: Laboratory environment. Physical Demands: May lift up to 25lbs. Benefits: KIC offers a comprehensive benefits package to eligible full-time employees including: Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, 401k with Match, Life and ADD Coverage, Short and Long Term Disability, Paid Time Off and Holidays, Education Assistance/Tuition Reimbursement, Employee Assistance Program, Employee Discount Program, and more!
