The Bioinformatics for Next Generation Sequencing (BiNGS) Shared Resource at the Tisch Cancer Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Bioinformatician II to lead transcriptomics, epigenomics, and multiomics data analysis projects focused on cancer biology.
The mission of BiNGS is to accelerate biomedical discovery by providing investigators with state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, computational tools, training, and bioinformatics expertise. BiNGS supports a broad spectrum of genomic applications, including bulk RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, Hi-C, single-cell RNA-seq, single-cell ATAC-seq, single-cell Multiome, Spatial Transcriptomics, DNA methylation, whole-genome sequencing (WGS), whole-exome sequencing (WES), and emerging long-read sequencing technologies. In addition to data analysis, BiNGS develops bioinformatics tools, manages computational infrastructure, provides access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources, and delivers advanced computational training to the Mount Sinai research community.
As a senior member of the BiNGS team, you will work closely with investigators across the Tisch Cancer Center and the broader Mount Sinai community to design, execute, interpret, and communicate complex genomic analyses. You will lead collaborative projects from inception through publication, mentor junior bioinformaticians, and contribute to the continued growth of the core and its services.
Success in this role requires scientific curiosity, attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. The successful candidate will be expected to lead multidisciplinary projects, mentor junior scientists, and communicate complex analyses clearly to investigators with diverse scientific backgrounds.
BiNGS offers a unique opportunity for senior bioinformaticians who wish to expand their expertise in transcriptomics, and epigenomics, while contributing to impactful cancer research.
