Senior Bioinformatics Engineer

New York, NY
2024/08/31.

Senior Bioinformatics Engineer SPARK, launched by the Simons Foundation in 2016, is the largest study of autism ever undertaken. It is open to all individuals living in the U.S. with a professional diagnosis of autism and their family members. The initiative aims to improve the lives of people with autism by identifying the causes of autism and informing more effective therapies, treatments, services, and supports. Participants share medical and behavioral information through online surveys. They can also choose to provide saliva samples for DNA analysis. This data is made available to researchers worldwide to explore the genetic underpinnings of autism, identify potential subtypes, and power downstream research. SPARK also engages the autism community by offering participants access to the latest research findings and potential opportunities to participate in additional studies. POSITION SUMMARY The Bioinformatics team at the Simons Foundation is seeking a full-time senior bioinformatics engineer. The position will play an integral role in returning genetic results to thousands of SPARK participants, including ASD and secondary health-related variants, as well as work with petabytes of genomics data and develop workflows for a variety of informatics needs across SFARI. The ideal candidate will have experience developing bioinformatics pipelines, coding using software development best practices, and performing reproducible genetic analyses. The candidate will be responsible for bioinformatics analysis of the SPARK return of genetic results process, including tracking samples from sequencing to return, developing and running analysis workflows, and working with the SPARK return of results (RoR) team on the review and selection of returnable variants. The candidate will also be responsible for packaging SFARI cohort genetic datasets for release in SFARI Base as new sequencing data is received and as other dataset updates are needed. The senior bioinformatics engineer will report to the Deputy Director of Bioinformatics and will work alongside a growing team, including a software engineer, a data manager, and a data analyst on the Bioinformatics team, as well as with Informatics’ engineering team, the SDBR (SFARI Data and Biospecimen Repository) team, and various SFARI cohort teams (SPARK, Searchlight, ABN, etc.). This is a full-time position based at the Simons Foundation offices in New York City.
