Research Bioinformatician II (RB II) provides general bioinformatics analysis and software support for projects involving in omics, and interact with investigators to identify research problems, find appropriate software tools, and recognize national biological databases and online resources for omic data. The RBII will manage omic data including loading and querying data from database system and public repositories, and transform and merge multilevel omic data into user-friendly formats, assist in development, test, and maintenance of modular software pipelines, provide bioinformatics data analysis, preliminary interpretation of the data, and reports of the results for possible publications. The Bioinformatician II will coordinate with Shared Resource user and Research Program admins to manage the Shared Resource operation. **Grow your career at Cedars-Sinai!** Cedars-Sinai is a nonprofit academic healthcare organization serving the diverse Los Angeles community and beyond.
