The candidate must be comfortable working with a high volume of single-cell datasets across multiple data management systems.
Responsibilities
• Advance large single-cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets through analysis workflows.
• Plan and execute analytical processes by which high-volume experimental data are quickly assessed for quality.
• Present key data quality metrics to scientific teams generating the data; provide regular updates to the project team at weekly lab meetings.
• Communicate complex quality metrics to stakeholders with different areas of expertise; develop presentation content appropriate for a variety of audiences.
• Coordinate the submission of large datasets to the appropriate data repositories (ie NeMO, NDA) and other key constituencies, while ensuring compliance with applicable policies such as the NIH Data Sharing Policy.
• Work with project managers and researchers to ensure that single-cell libraries are tracked and reviewed for quality in NIMP (Neuroanatomy-anchored Information Management Platform).
• Serve as the main point of contact for consortium data releases, working in close collaboration with other consortium members and sites.
• Work with software engineers toward optimization of analysis workflows for high-data-volume experiments.
• Collaborate closely with laboratory and data analysis teams to support overall project deliverables, ensuring deliverables are met on time.
• Provide a variety of reports summarizing research data usage. Assist the lab's scientific teams in utilizing disk and cloud storage in cost-efficient and time-efficient ways.
• Assist the managing director with the preparation of progress reports that involve data deliverables.
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in bioinformatics, computer science or a related field
• 1-2 + years of experience working in a high-data-volume scientific environment, including experience advancing data sets through complex analysis workflows
• Experience working with databases
• Working knowledge of at least one scripting language (ie. Python, R)
• Experience working in Linux operating system, including working knowledge of Bash, is preferred
• Familiarity with Google Cloud and/or AWS (Amazon Web Services)
