What are the responsibilities and job description for the Bioinformatician (Junior / Mid-Level) Genomic Data Science position at Laureate Institute for Brain Research?
Overview
We are seeking a motivated bioinformatician with a strong foundation in genomics to join our academic research team. The ideal candidate will work with large-scale GWAS data, genomic annotations (including spatial transcriptomics), and associated summary data to build streamlined analysis pipelines and databases.
Key Responsibilities
- GWAS Data Management : Locate, download, and curate summary statistics from large-scale GWAS repositories.
- Annotation Integration : Identify and retrieve relevant genome annotations (e.g., gene models, epigenomic maps, spatial transcriptomics) to support post-GWAS analyses.
- Database Development : Develop a consistent, queryable database for GWAS and annotation data.
- Genomic Data Analysis : Process genotype and sequencing data, perform quality control, and derive polygenic inferences.
- Pipeline Automation : Collaborate in building and maintaining automated workflows for downstream analyses.
