The Scientific Data Curator will be part of the Data Analysis Center (DAC), which collects, curates, and analyzes the data generated by the Network as well as developing and applying novel computational tools. The Curator will act as a liaison between the DAC and the sequencing centers that generate data and manage the metadata necessary to describe the sequencing data generated by the Network. An ideal candidate will have experience with genome sequencing technologies, understand the protocols in relevant experiments, be proficient in coding, and enjoy interacting with other scientists. The Department of Biomedical Informatics is a leading hub for computational biology, translational bioinformatics, and precision medicine, and SMaHT DAC provides a vibrant community of research scientists and software engineers, in an environment that combines the best features of a startup (fast pace, flexibility, flat hierarchies) with those of a leading medical school (excellent benefits, outstanding opportunities for learning, and great resources).Commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging:We are committed to cultivating an inclusive workplace culture of faculty, staff, and students with diverse backgrounds, styles, abilities, and motivations.
