We are seeking a Data Scientist to support infrastructure for homogenization and integration of omics related data. Data comes in different formats and the different programs typically have to be carefully put into workflows where the output format from one method needs to be changed to the input format of downstream methods. Furthermore, Biomedical research is characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity. Data formats and standards exist in a chaotic tapestry, reflecting the diverse nature of experimental platforms and analytical tools. This heterogeneity necessitates laborious manual processing, a process that is both time-consuming and prone to errors. There are "workflow wrappers" for some tasks, however, these are mainly suitable for sufficiently standardized tools using standardized data formats. However, even with these wrappers, most of the bioinformatician’s time in a project goes into this manual gluing of different tools with the data at hand. The efforts in this job concern tackling these challenges.
