The Principal/Lead Bioinformatics Research Scientist functions independently to coordinate large-scale bioinformatics projects, providing project oversight, scientific and technical advice, programming support, and other input as required to achieve established objectives. Coordinates the specialized expertise of bioinformatics colleagues to achieve scientific objectives. Establishes best... practice recommendations, creates educational materials, and participates in educational initiatives at the laboratory, departmental, and/or institutional level. The new Department of Host-Microbe Interactions is seeking a talented and highly motivated Principal Bioinformatics Research Scientist or Lead Bioinformatics Research Scientist with extensive experience in large-scale microbial genomic data analysis to create and direct the new Microbial Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics Laboratory at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The Microbial Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics Laboratory's mission is to support initiatives on microbial genomic, phylogenomic, and computational needs of researchers in the Department of Host-Microbe Interactions and the Center for Infectious Disease Research. The laboratory is a major initiative backed by substantial support as a part of our institutional strategic plan and will be fully integrated with research in microbial evolution, microbial pathogenesis, virology, the microbiome, computational biology, and data sciences at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The focus of this position is on bacterial and viral genomics, using specimens and data obtained from our healthcare system to address key questions such as the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance, genome heterogeneity, outbreaks, transmission, and the identification of potential targets for the generation of novel therapies. This will be achieved using a combination of approaches, including: short-and long-read whole genome sequencing; phylogenomic, transcriptomic, and bioinformatics approaches involving electronic health data; and experimental data generated by collaborating partners. Data analysis will focus on answering clinical questions, generating insights to prevent infections, and building predictive models of disease susceptibility. The successful candidate will assemble a team of Ph.D.- and MS-level bioinformaticians and data scientists to analyze and interpret newly generated as well as existing large collections of microbial whole-genome sequences and metagenomes, using cutting-edge bioinformatics approaches to address project aims. The director will present research findings at project meetings, scientific conferences, and outreach/training events. There will be opportunities to initiate new projects and collaborate with other groups at St. Jude, including clinicians, basic scientists, and data scientists. The ideal candidate should have: • A PhD and extensive postdoctoral experience in microbial genomics, phylogenomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, and data science. • A strong CV that includes high-profile publications in the field of computational biology and microbial genomics. • Extensive expertise in analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing microbial genomics and microbiome datasets generated by high throughput sequencing technologies including short- (Illumina) and long-read- (e.g. PacBio and Oxford Nanopore) whole genome sequencing. • Extensive experience performing statistical analyses of large microbial genomic datasets and validation of genomic pipelines. • Expert-level proficiency in relevant programming languages such as R and Python, preferably in a High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment. • Preferably, proficiency in tools for ensuring reproducibility of pipelines, such as workflow management systems (e.g., nextflow or snakemake), and version control (e.g., git). • Preferably, experience with database management systems such as MySQL. • Extensive expertise in data integration and harmonization. • Possess a deep understanding of essential bioinformatics concepts and algorithms, e.g., alignment, SNP nucleotide calling, classification of nucleotide and protein sequence, phylogenetics, and genomic assembly. • Previous experience working in the field of infectious diseases is preferred. • Proven problem-solving skills and collaborative nature in fast-paced environment. • Excellent communication and presentation skills. Responsibilities: • Develop and apply state-of-the-art computational approaches to characterize and assemble microbial genomes and metagenomes. • Attract, recruit, and supervise staff to create a strong team for the operation of the Microbial Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics Laboratory. • Collaborate with the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital data science initiative to develop computational pipelines for handling large, complex genomic datasets requiring custom approaches to accommodate project-specific analytical requirements. • Interface and collaborate with the IT department to develop and maintain capabilities for analysis, interpretation, and storage of the genomic data. • Maintain a high level of professional expertise through familiarity with scientific literature and scientific networking. • Create and implement educational and outreach programs to enhance microbial genomics capabilities and usage within the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital community. • Train MS and PhD level graduate students in microbial computational genomics. • Collaborate and enable external funding applications. Minimum Education: • Bachelor's degree in bioinformatics, cheminformatics, statistics/computer science (with a background in biological sciences or chemistry) or related field. • Master's degree or PhD preferred. Principal Bioinformatic Research Scientist Minimum Experience: • Minimum Requirement: Bachelor's degree with 13+ years of relevant post-degree work in bioinformatics, cheminformatics, statistics/computer science (with a background in biological sciences or chemistry). • Experience Exception: Master's degree with 11+ years of relevant post-degree experience (OR) PhD with 8+ years of relevant post-degree experience. • Substantial experience in at least one programming or scripting language and at least one statistical package, with R preferred. Lead Bioinformatic Research Scientist Minimum Experience: • Minimum Requirement: Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of relevant post-degree work in bioinformatics, cheminformatics, statistics/computer science (with a background in biological sciences or chemistry). • Experience Exception: Master's degree with 8+ years of relevant post-degree experience (OR) PhD with 5+ years of relevant post-degree experience. • Substantial experience in at least one programming or scripting language and at least one statistical package, with R preferred. Compensation In recognition of certain U.S. state and municipal pay transparency laws, St. Jude is including a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. This is an estimate offered in good faith and a specific salary offer takes into account factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets, experience and training, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
