A successful candidate will be part of a dynamic, creative and innovative bioinformatics team performing statistical consulting and custom analyses for external clients as well as collaborating with internal teams on both clinical and assay development projects.

Responsiblities

The analyst works closely with external clients and the bioinformatics staff supporting assay development. Responsibilities and duties include:

• Perform timely quantitative statistical analyses of high dimensional proteomic data and generate formal analysis reports for external clients
• Work closely with external clients to understand requests, define deliverables and produce timely analysis reports that clearly communicate results
• Develop modular statistical software tools to perform complex analyses and prepare data displays for both external and internal clients
• Work closely with assay development and assay bioinformatics groups to characterize and be able to communicate analytical performance of complex multi-analyte proteomics assay
• Keep abreast of new methodologies in high dimensional data analysis through literature review, workshops and professional meetings

Requirements

Education and Experience:

Masters or Ph.D. in Statistics/Biostatistics, Applied Mathematics, or Bioinformatics with at least 3+ years experience performing both routine and complex statistical analyses
