The CRG is composed of an interdisciplinary, motivated, and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented senior bioinformatician to lead the Quality Control services in the EGA (European Genome-Phenome Archive, www.Ega-archive.Org) group at the CRG.
The successful candidate will manage the evolution and deployment of the quality control procedures applied to genomic files and phenoclinic variables associated with them.
The successful candidate should be a motivated scientist, with experience in handling large scale genomics, detection of sample duplication, and the inference of sex, pedigrees, and/or genetic ancestry.
We are looking for someone with positive energy to join our amazing and diverse team.About the EGAThe EGA (European Genome-Phenome Archive, www.Ega-archive.Org) is a resource for permanent secure archiving and sharing of all types of potentially identifiable bio-molecular, phenotypic, and clinical data resulting from biomedical research projects.
We host more than 18 petabytes of data, that includes more than 3700 studies and 8600 datasets.
The EGA, co-managed by the CRG (www.Crg.Eu) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI, www.Ebi.Ac.Uk), is an active partner in numerous international and national projects and contributes to establishing international standards in genomics and health research.
Currently, the EGA is involved in many precision medicine initiatives and projects and looks forward to providing advanced services for that research community.
The EGA team at CRG is a diverse group (currently 20 people and steadily growing) composed of bioinformaticians, developers, and scientists from various backgrounds.
The EGA is a Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH, www.Ga4gh.Org) driver project, an ELIXIR (www.Elixir-europe.Org) Core Data Resource and Recommended Deposition Repository, as well as an ELIXIR Spain (www.Inab.Es) service.
In Barcelona, the EGA is based at the prestigious Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB, www.Prbb.Org) and receives support from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC, www.Bsc.Es) and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF, www.Upf.Edu).Whom would we like to hire?Professional experienceMust HaveYou have a strong background in Bioinformatics applied to human data (3+ years of experience).You have experience in managing, processing, performing quality control, and analysis of large amounts of Next Generation Sequencing.You have experience in pipeline development using current bioinformatic tools
