About the team/job
GA4GH brings together hundreds of contributors from healthcare, research, patient advocacy, life science, and information technology to create frameworks and standards to enable the responsible, voluntary, and secure sharing of genomic and health-related data. Our staff support this work and are based at four international host institutions: the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL-EBI.
Your role
You will contribute to the development, implementation and adoption of open source standards for genomic data sharing alongside colleagues in our distributed staff team and members of the wider GA4GH community, including dedicated developers, outside the GA4GH staff team, who are participating as “assigned engineers” on specific projects. You will report to the GA4GH Technical Lead and Chief Standards Officer (CSO). You will work in conjunction with our UK and US/Canada based development team to drive development work within GA4GH. Based at EMBL-EBI, this role is part of an expansion of our technical team to increase support for our large community of worldwide contributors.
The role provides an exceptional opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project, gain experience of a range of technologies and work alongside staff from a variety of world leading organisations spanning compute and health.
Your responsibilities will include:
GA4GH standards include file formats for storing large scale genomic data, services for executing analytical workflows in varied compute environments, models for phenotypic and clinical data capable of integrating with electronic health records, and methods for secure data access. You will be responsible for design and development to support solutions to these challenges. In addition you will share responsibility for the development of the GA4GH Starter Kit (https://starterkit.ga4gh.org/) software packages, which are used to accelerate the adoption of GA4GH standards in clinical settings, along with the development of test services, available to those implementing GA4GH standards
