Job Summary

Organizational Status

The LSI is a UBC Research Institute supported by the UBC faculties of Medicine and Science. The LSI is one of four Global Research Excellence Institutes at UBC. It is home to the research programs of approximately 90 Principal Investigators from three faculties and over 15 departments, who conduct research on a wide variety of life science topics. The successful applicant will report to the Bioinformatics Facility Manager of the Bioinformatics Core Facility, under the guidance of a faculty steering committee, and work closely with Principal Investigators, research staff, and trainees.

Work Performed

Duties include:

- Performing bioinformatics analyses and modeling for multiple research projects using adapted versions of analysis pipelines accounting for the uniqueness of each experiment.
- Providing bioinformatics consultations to the LSI research community.
- Helping to educate/mentor trainees performing their own modeling and analyses with one-on-one sessions.
- Creating and providing bioinformatics workshops covering topics relevant to the LSI research community. It is expected that these educational activities will initially represent an important part of the bioinformatician’s role.
- Keeping an up-to-date working knowledge of the various software tools and new types of omics data being generated by the research community with an emphasis on data generated by the LSI Core Facilities and their multi-omics integration.
- Creating and maintaining analysis pipelines for various types of omics data, including for example variant detection in whole genome sequencing, RNA-Seq, scRNA-Seq, ChIP-seq, denovo assembly, metagenomic sequencing, microarray, mass-spec based proteomics, metabolomics, high-throughput screening, and other emerging omics technologies.
- Integrating multiple omics data types together.
- Performing quality control of the analyzed datasets and clearly communicating the results to the experimentalists.
- Documenting the bioinformatics and statistical methods for inclusion in research publications.
- Facilitating the sharing and standardization of bioinformatics between LSI, UBC and others.
- Helping researchers access and submit their datasets to the relevant public databases.
