Job Duties and
Responsibilities:
The professional
for this role needs to be well versed in processing raw sequence data produced
by Sanger and NGS methods as well as
identify, characterize, and annotate genes found in sequence data. In
addition, they will perform evolutionary and phylogenetic studies of sequence
data, identify unique regions of pathogen genomes for use as targets in
molecular diagnostic assays and design oligonucleotide primers/probes for use
in sequencing projects and pathogen detection assays.
This professional
will provide technical assistance on a variety of tasks and assignments related
to genomic lab-epidemiologic studies on the evolution of viruses. They
will leverage their analytical and interpretive skills to analyze NGS data from
routine and enhanced global surveillance using spatiotemporal, phylodynamic,
and epidemiologic approaches to determine trends that can be used in making
decisions about prevention, treatment and control of epidemics or
pandemics.
They will conduct
genomic lab and epidemiologic studies and use mathematical and computational approaches
to understand the evolutionary and epidemiological patterns of viruses.
They will ensure the appropriate genomic analysis methods, procedures,
techniques, and applicable quality controls are correctly conducted by
referring to standard protocols. Lastly, they will prepare reports,
summaries, presentations, papers, and other documents to highlight findings,
and present them to team members and colleagues as needed.
Candidate
Qualifications:
The professional
for this role will have at a minimum a Master’s degree in
Bioinformatics or another scientific field such as, Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, Biology, Microbiology with
at least 4 years of professional experience developing
and testing next generation sequencing data using the latest software and
techniques.
They will be well versed in establishing
bioinformatics algorithms and integrate multiple levels of biological
information with genomic data to surveil and report on anomalies. They
will have demonstrated knowledge and skills performing conducting the
scientific testing as outlined above and be experienced in communicating
complex scientific information (both written and verbally) to a wide audience.
