Research Data Analyst 1 – Sheltzer Lab – Onsite
Stanford University is seeking a Research Data Analyst 1 to manage and analyze large amounts of information, typically technical or scientific in nature, under the direction of project researchers, investigators, or managers.
The research data analyst will work with the Sheltzer Lab on a cutting-edge project analyzing the genomic aberrations found in cancer.
The Sheltzer Laboratory is broadly interested in identifying the genetic changes that occur during tumorigenesis and influence drug sensitivity, metastasis, and patient outcomes. We apply a number of high-throughput approaches, including CRISPR screening, RNA- Seq, single-cell sequencing, and copy number profiling, to generate comprehensive data on cancer physiology in vitro and in vivo. Through this work, we seek to improve our understanding of the genetic drivers of aggressive tumors and identify cancer-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. We are particularly interested in uncovering the role of aneuploidy, or chromosome copy number changes, in cancer-related processes. We are looking to hire a computational biologist who will work closely with other scientists in the Sheltzer Lab to aid in the design and analysis of high-throughput experimental results. Initial responsibilities will include conducting copy number analysis on cancer specimens, identifying patterns of transcriptional alterations following drug treatments, and contributing to the analysis of CRISPR screening data.
Duties include*:
- Collect, manage and clean datasets.
- Employ new and existing tools to interpret, analyze, and visualize multivariate relationships in data.
- 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.
- Provide documentation based on audit and reporting criteria to investigators and research staff.
- Communicate with government officials, grant agencies and industry representatives.
* - Other duties may also be assigned.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Proficiency in Python, R, Linux, and command line tools.
- A strong background in genomics, including WGS, RNA-Seq, and single-cell approaches.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills including the ability to effectively generate data visualizations suitable for presentation and publication.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE (REQUIRED):
Bachelor's degree or a combination of education and relevant experience. Experience in a quantitative discipline such as economics, finance, statistics or engineering.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES (REQUIRED):
- Substantial experience with MS Office and analytical programs.
- Strong writing and analytical skills.
