Job Summary
The BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) is developing a centralized bioinformatics core to support the unique needs of the foundational and translational research conducted by its members. We require a bioinformatician to take on a dual service/development role of the BCCHR Bioinformatics Core (the “Core”).

The Bioinformatics Specialist is responsible for developing and overseeing the Core, including establishing and utilizing centralized analysis pipelines, conducting bioinformatics-based needs assessments across the Institute, communicating and marketing the Core, and managing compute and data management systems. This individual will research, analyze, implement solutions to support and enhance BCCHR activities, and provide excellent service to its users.

Organizational Status
Reports to the BCCHR Director - Research Informatics and works in collaboration with the BCCHR Associate Director - Foundational Science, BCCHR IT, and the users of the Core (researchers, staff, students, or industry clients) as well as collaborators at affiliated organizations.

Writes and maintains systems documentation including user and technical manuals.
Develops pipelines including for genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data.
Implements data management tools including relational database management applications for efficient storage and retrieval of all results from all samples used in the research work.
Contributes to team interactions by consultation, collaboration, teamwork, and task sharing. Works to ensure that experimental design includes data management and analysis considerations.
Conducts and supports bioinformatics and statistical analyses and interpretation of sequencing data (e.g., DNA and RNA) in internal and collaborative research projects using appropriate software tools and custom-written programs and scripts.
Documents and communicates analysis results in written and oral form.
Offers guidance to researchers for project-specific protocol adaptations. Evaluates technology through vendor collaborations.
Advises researchers on study design and analytic approaches via consultation meetings as requested.
