PHL is committed to its mission to safeguard the health of all NYC residents by providing quality laboratory testing services that support the priorities of DOHMH and its community partners to prevent and respond to clinical and environmental public health concerns. The Public Health Laboratory (PHL) seeks a qualified candidate to serve as a Bioinformatics Scientist. This position will work primarily in PHL’s Bioinformatics Unit. This position will develop and maintain analysis pipelines as well as perform bioinformatics analyses for high throughput sequencing (HTS) data. It will play an integral role in genomics analysis aimed at responding to public health threats, including but not limited to COVID-19, vaccine preventable diseases, HIV, Legionella as well as respiratory, foodborne, and waterborne disease outbreaks. This is an excellent opportunity to join our multidisciplinary team, and collaborate with local, state, federal, and academic partners. Job Duties and Responsibilities: Conducting bioinformatics analyses for sequencing data that support public health efforts Developing or improving tools related to pathogen identification, outbreak tracking, mapping drug resistance determinants, variant analysis, genome annotation and phylogenetics, genomics data visualization Strengthening the application of genomic tools to support public health diagnostic testing for pathogens from clinical and environmental samples (e.g., wastewater). Conducting literature reviews and stay up to date with cutting edge scientific and epidemiological research and tools.
