A Brief Overview
The Bioinformatics Engineer III position is a 3rd stage position for those with high levels of experience in the support of robust computational environments focused on the management, transfer, formatting, and general processing of complex data types associated with genomics and proteomics. Whereas the Bioinformatics Scientist is primarily focused on the outcome of an analysis in terms of the scientific endpoint, the Bioinformatics Engineer is primarily focused on the outcome of an analysis in terms of validity, efficiency, and robustness. The focus of the position is systems design for and implementation of data manipulation and analysis pipelines, applications, general hardware configurations, and bioinformatics-specific hardware configurations. The Bioinformatics Engineer III is also responsible for actively participating in the development of enterprise-wide systems by promoting the needs of large-scale bioinformatics and optimizing those systems in terms of the enterprise solution for sustainability. The position allows for a wide variety of activities described within the job responsibilities and encompasses positions within both research and clinical environments. Activities occur with a low degree of supervision with high latitude for independent judgment. The Bioinformatics Engineer III will be well versed in application of best practices as a bioinformatics engineer expert. The Bioinformatics Engineer III is primarily focused on supporting bioinformatics analytical groups and individuals as an engineering domain expert and strategic data resource.
The Bioinformatics Engineer III must be able to perform all responsibilities listed in the Bioinformatics Scientist I and Bioinformatics Engineer II job descriptions. All responsibilities listed in this description are additional.
