Bioinformatics Analyst I

About the Role

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated individual to join our Clinical Research team. The Bioinformatics Analyst I will analyze quantitative clinical and imaging-derived measurements for fetal imaging using bioinformatics and computational techniques and concepts.

Key Responsibilities

• Run and validate reproducible analytic pipelines for longitudinal clinical and imaging-derived measurement data.
• Perform data curation, quality control, and manual review to ensure data accuracy and integrity.
• Review existing analytic methods and published reference standards, and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Test in-house analysis code and statistical tools, providing feedback to investigators and data management staff.
• Construct reference ranges and predictive models using mixed-effects, regression, and other statistical methods appropriate for correlated longitudinal data.
• Interpret findings in comparison with published standards.
• Use computational analyses and biological interpretation of results to evaluate existing data.
• Address project-specific analytic objectives.
• Recommend methodological improvements.
• Prepare analytic tables, figures, and supporting documentation for manuscripts, grant submissions, and other research activities.
• Ensure that all analytic objectives and project requirements are completed as directed by the project or supervisor.
