The Kalbasi Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine is seeking to manage and analyze high throughput next generation sequencing data from samples acquired from laboratory experiments, clinical trials of cancer patients, and/or publicly available data, as well as to participate in new protein design strategies using emerging AI-tools to gain new insights that will inform advances in cancer immunotherapy and radiation therapy.
Requirements
- Strong background in bioinformatics and biostatistics, including experience with analysis of next-generation sequencing data.
- Ideal candidates will also have experience with machine learning/AI tools, and experience with or interest in protein design.
- Experience and comfort in working within a UNIX/Linux environment.
- Background in programming languages such as Python, R, Matlab, Perl.
- Knowledge of techniques for analyzing tumor purity and clonal heterogeneity.
- A background in oncology and/or immunology is preferred.
- Familiarity with predictive modeling and machine learning.
Responsibilities
- Collect, manage and clean datasets.
- Employ new and existing tools to interpret, analyze, and visualize multivariate relationships in data, and for protein design.
- Create databases and reports, develop algorithms and statistical models, and perform statistical analyses appropriate to data and reporting requirements.
- Use system reports and analyses to identify potentially problematic data, make corrections, and determine root cause for data problems from input errors or inadequate field edits, and suggest possible solutions.
- Develop reports, charts, graphs and tables for use by investigators and for publication and presentation.
- Analyze data processes in documentation.
- Collaborate with faculty and research staff on data collection and analysis methods.
Other
- Bachelor's, MS, or PhD degree in Bioinformatics, Computation Biology or Computer Science or a related field with two years of relevant experience.
- Good communication and team skills and fluency in both spoken and written English.
- Ability to prioritize workload.
- Interpersonal Skills: Demonstrates the ability to work well with Stanford colleagues and clients and with external organizations.
- Promote Culture of Safety: Demonstrates commitment to personal responsibility and value for safety; communicates safety concerns; uses and promotes safe behaviors based on training and lessons learned.
