Specifically this position will collaborate with information technologists and data scientists to build a research data repository for use by WCM. The successful candidate for this position will serve as a subject matter expert in the area of bioinformatics. The incumbent is charged with developing approaches and methods for solving the many complex problems encountered in this domain. This individual provides guidance to scientists, research administrators, and others working with clinical or genetic data. The position brings a thorough knowledge of pathway analysis and microbiology to bear on genomic data sets, facilitating the discovery of new knowledge. This individual further is fluent in use of many bioinformatics tools, and able to coach researchers in their proper selection and use. The purpose of this position is to enable scientists to better understand biological processes so they can best analyze and use their data. This position will partner with other informatics thought leaders in WCM in imagining, creating, and managing a dynamic, modern information research facility to support research, education, and clinical care for the next generation and beyond.
