Barntumörbanken (BTB), or in English: The Swedish Childhood Tumor Biobank, is a national infrastructure, research project and sample collection dedicated to childhood tumors. BTB performs deep sequencing and analysis on collected samples in collaboration with the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) at The Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab), a national centre for large-scale life science research with advanced technological infrastructure. The aim of BTB is to promote research and increase understanding of disease mechanisms for childhood tumors, ultimately improving patient care and treatment.
Currently, BTB is also co-coordinating the national initiative Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) for paediatric cancer. This project aims to implement whole genome sequencing in clinical practise for patients with childhood tumors. To support our mission, we are now looking for a motivated bioinformatician to contribute in developing data analysis pipelines and providing computational, and data handling support for the projects BTB manages and takes part in.
This is an opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary environment, continuously evolving with the latest technologies in the field to support and enable high-quality genomic research on childhood cancer.
As a bioinformatician, you would be focusing on developing, testing, implementing, and maintaining analysis pipelines for the sequencing data both for basic research and clinical application. The data is then mainly generated internally in collaboration with NGI/SciLifeLab and within the GMS-project. This would include develop/install/run software and pipelines for analysis, visualization and interpretation of results concerning childhood tumors and paired normal samples. You will be also be heavily involved in developing in-house databases to compile a vast amount of genomic data from unstructured data sources to build interactive database web applications. Tasks includes as well data management, data transfer and documentation.
The work will be performed at BTB/Dept. of Pathology-Oncology together with colleagues of different expertise. A part of the job is also to keep up to date and in contact with the appropriate collaborators for NGS-data management.
