Description
Stanford University is seeking a Biostatistician 2 to support two basic
science research laboratories with moderate level of independence, to define
hypotheses, design studies and devise analysis plans. Work with senior
Bioinformatician(s) to implement analysis plan and publish findings. Present
results orally to clinical and basic science investigators. Provide
guidance to clinical and basic science investigators on design and analysis
issues. Technologies currently in use include next generation sequencing
platforms, gene expression arrays, mass spectrometry, custom tiling arrays,
and full-genome functional genetics screens. A Master’s degree in
bioinformatics, computer biology, statistics or related field with two year
of relevant experience is required. Ph.D. degree desired. Previous
experience with analysis of high throughput data and large datasets from the
aforementioned platforms using established software is required. Previous
experience in NGS analysis pipeline development is desired. In addition,
applicants will need to have familiarity with scripting languages (Perl/
Python, R, or other languages and environments) to automate customized data
analysis pipelines to test directed biological hypotheses with available
data. Algorithm development and some background in biology are also highly
desired. The successful candidate should have a demonstrated ability to
work with biologists to apply computational approaches to their experiments
as well as the ability to facilitate the development of others’
bioinformatics skills. Applicant is expected to have proficient Linux
experience. Applicants must possess good communication and team skills and
