UW Laboratory Medicine

Our department maintains all clinical testing and laboratory operations at the UW Medical Center, from sample collection to analysis and final reporting. We employ over 900 people and handle 30 million tests each year. In parallel, we research, develop and operationalize novel diagnostics in genomics, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry and automated imaging. We're looking for someone to develop and maintain our germline NGS data processing pipelines, as well as investigate new opportunities in a translational research context. Experience with germline specific bioinformatics tools, annotation databases, common bioinformatics file formats highly valued! Our stack: Primarily Python, Nextflow, and React/PostgreSQL. PHI-compliant AWS cloud infrastructure with push-to-deploy application servers and a batch-processing pipeline. Work environment: Very flexible work/remote schedule (currently fully remote), excellent UW benefits, cross-sectional work environment where you will be working with technologists, trainees, physicians and laboratory directors. The UW maintains a 'Patients are First' model of operation-- your contribution at UW Laboratory Medicine will impact the health and lives of those patients!
