Southern Research (SR) is at a pivotal moment in its 84-year history. At the start of 2022, SR launched a new strategic plan focused on translational research in the life sciences. SR intends to invest over $150 million in this new strategy, including development of new facilities, platforms, and programs. We believe in the power of SR and our partners to unlock the immense potential of Alabama's biotech ecosystem to spur economic development, create jobs, and draw investment. Downtown Birmingham sees over $700M in extramural biomedical research every year, including over $300M from the NIH, in large part due to the contributions of Southern Research and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. We are on a mission to translate our R&D volume into investment, high-performance companies, and quality jobs in Alabama and in the Southeast United States. The Bioinformatics Engineer will report to the Director Bioinformatics. In this role, you will be responsible for overseeing the development, implementation, and maintenance of bioinformatics software and infrastructure to support cutting-edge research. You will work with external biobanks, clinical sequencing laboratories and clinical data health ecosystems to aggregate and assimilate molecular datasets and analysis pipelines in the cloud to support a bioinformatic research community.
