At Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center—consistently recognized as one of the nation’s top places to work and a global leader in pediatric research and care - we are driven by a shared commitment to discovery, collaboration, and impact. We are seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Analyst / Web Developer who is passionate about solving complex biological problems and clearly communicating data-driven solutions. In this role, you will apply statistical software such as R and/or Python to analyze and visualize large-scale multiomics datasets - including single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and spatial transcriptomics data - while contributing biological insight to data interpretation when applicable.

Approximately 60% of your effort will focus on advanced single-cell and spatial data analysis, with the remaining 40% dedicated to developing, maintaining, and enhancing modern web-based tools and databases that support data visualization and sharing. You will collaborate closely with the PI and lab team, regularly presenting progress, preparing statistical summaries, tables, figures, and reports for publications, and assisting with manuscript preparation - all while helping translate complex biological data into meaningful insights that advance lung biology research and improve outcomes for children.
