Seeking Breakthrough Makers
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) offers countless ways to change lives. Our diverse community of more than 20,000 Breakthrough Makers will inspire you to pursue passions, develop expertise, and drive innovation. At CHOP, your experience is valued; your voice is heard; and your contributions make a difference for patients and families. Join us as we build on our promise to advance pediatric careand your career. CHOP does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, or any other legally protected categories in any employment, training, or vendor decisions or programs. CHOP recognizes the critical importance of a workforce rich in varied backgrounds and experiences and engages in ongoing efforts to achieve that through equally varied and non-discriminatory means. What You Will Do
The Bioinformatics Engineer I position is an entry-level position in the support of computational environments focused on the management, transfer, formatting, and general processing of complex data types associated with genomics and proteomics. The Bioinformatics Engineer I is primarily focused on supporting bioinformatics analytical groups and individuals as an engineering resource. The Bioinformatics Engineer I will be introduced to the concepts of best practices in scripting, pipeline workflow development, hardware and software configurations, change controls, quality, sustainability, and documentation. The Bioinformatics Engineer I primarily operates in a local environment as opposed to enterprise-level. The Bioinformatics Engineer I will: Contribute to the maintenance and development of bioinformatics tool portfolio by developing knowledge of internally developed systems, open-source programs, and commercial applications. Provide efficient data management support. Work with bioinformatics group members to develop functioning pipelines upstream of customized analysis workflows. Maintain pipelines by staying current with evolving algorithms and standards and incorporating into pipeline. Optimize performance of applications by working with scientific computing and information systems groups to optimize hardware/software parameters. Define and prioritize requirements for pipeline development over time to incorporate new technologies and platforms via functional communication with bioinformatics group members and bioinformatics end users. Identify appropriate open-source and commercial products that serve needs of pipeline and/or customized analyses of end users. Implement and maintain commercial and open-source software for common bioinformatics and genomics data analysis. Implement, update, and maintain locally stored data resources required for various analysis tasks. Provide efficient data management support including file transfers, data formatting and manipulation, and basic integration of data from a variety of experimental and reference resources. Maintain working knowledge of available commercial and openly accessible knowledgebase as they apply to bioinformatics analysis. Collaborate primarily with bioinformatics scientist group and equivalents to produce local scale computational environments. Works with both bioinformatics group members and end users/clients to understand specific needs in bioinformatics and end user-specific domains. Attends group and team meetings and contributes primarily factual information regarding processes and approach. Provide ad hoc support and one-on-one and group-based training on key bioinformatics software, features, and workflows. Documents all aspects of computational environment parameters, instructions, and SOP's for existing systems and newly implemented systems. Ensure that all routinely used tools (e.g. those included in shared analysis pipelines) are versioned and managed through a source control system. Ensure that configuration files that provide parameters to algorithms and analysis software are versioned and managed through a source control system. To carry out its mission, CHOP is committed to supporting the health of our patients, families, workforce, and global community. As a condition of employment, CHOP employees who work in patient care buildings or who have patient facing responsibilities must receive an annual influenza vaccine. SALARY RANGE: $81,670.00 - $104,130.00 Annually Salary ranges are shown for full-time jobs. If you're working part-time, your pay will be adjusted accordingly. At CHOP, we are committed to fair and transparent pay practices. Factors such as skills and experience could result in an offer above the salary range noted in this job posting.
