Bioinformatics Scientist – Metabolomics Shared Resource

About the role

The Metabolomics Shared Resource at Georgetown University Medical Center seeks a Bioinformatics Scientist to support experimental design and data analysis for a broad portfolio of metabolomics studies. The role involves close collaboration with wet‑lab scientists to integrate multi‑omics datasets and develop computational pipelines for metabolic modeling.

Key responsibilities

• Operate and assist with mass spectrometry workflows, including sample preparation and data acquisition.
• Process raw LC‑MS and GC‑MS data using defined analytical platforms and prepare results for statistical analysis.
• Perform advanced bioinformatic and statistical analyses of metabolomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics datasets.
• Collaborate with core facility clients to refine data visualizations, conduct additional analyses, and inform future experiment design.
• Develop and maintain user‑friendly analytical pipelines integrating instrument‑specific software.

Required profile

• Graduate degree (MSc or PhD) in bioinformatics, computational biology, metabolomics, or a related field.
• Experience working in a core facility or research laboratory handling high‑throughput omics data.
• Strong communication skills to interact with multidisciplinary scientists.

Required skills

• LC‑MS and GC‑MS data processing
• Mass spectrometry operation and sample preparation
• Bioinformatics and statistical analysis of metabolomics datasets
• Pipeline development and integration of multi‑omics data
• Familiarity with metabolic modeling and flux analysis
