Job Summary:

The Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine invites applications for a full-time Project Manager to oversee the coordination, administration, and engagement of internal-facing aspects of multiple large-scale NIH-funded programs.

This position will be expected to support a diverse portfolio of research projects undertaken by faculty in DBMI, many of which involve consortia of investigators from multiple institutions. The duties of the Project Manager include managing timelines and deliverables, facilitating project planning and strategy sessions, document development and management, collaboration with software developers to achieve milestones, and effective communication across national and local project teams.

This position will work on one or more ongoing projects, including the Bridge to Artificial Intelligence (Bridge2AI) Consortium, the Common Fund Data Ecosystem's Integration and Coordination Center (CFDE-ICC), and other efforts. Bridge2AI aims to propel biomedical and behavioral research forward by setting the stage for widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) that tackles complex biomedical challenges beyond human intuition. The CFDE-ICC aims to advance the coordination, sustainability, and impact of the NIH's CFDE. DBMI faculty lead the Evaluation Core for the CFDE-ICC. This core helps common fund centers and projects develop data sustainability plans and ensure continuous improvement through an annual evaluation program. The Project Manager will interface with other ICC components and coordinate the annual evaluation program. This role is to assist with designing processes for managing groups, managing information, coordination of meetings, and reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage geographically distributed and interdisciplinary projects, create project plans, manage deliverables, including timelines, risks and coordination of cross-functional tasks using product and project management software, such as GitHub, GSuite (Google Workspace), Jira, Notion, etc.
Identify and organize appropriate and effective meetings for various activities. Manage the meetings to make progress on projects. Assist with agendas, facilitate meetings, capture action items and decisions and distribute information to the attendees.
Effectively communicate goals and status of work, including all requirements to internal and external project team, stakeholders, and project funding officers.
Work with project managers of other teams to drive multi-institutional projects.
Work collaboratively to increase the productivity and accountability of a team that is developing transformational software for bioinformatics.
Assist with event planning (online and in-person).

Work Location:

Hybrid - This position offers a hybrid work arrangement, with the flexibility to work remotely under specific conditions. Periodic travel to campus will be required, as needed to meet project commitments and attend occasional team meetings.

Why Join Us:

The new Project Manager will join a highly interactive, supportive, and interdisciplinary group of faculty, staff scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and students and enjoy access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Researchers in the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) focus on computational approaches that derive insights from data to lead to advances in research and medical practice. They focus on areas such as automated and manual biocuration, knowledge representation, semantic engineering, natural language processing, automated reasoning, and developing and evaluating algorithms and software systems that advance these practices in support of artificial intelligence. The Anschutz Medical Campus is also home to Colorado's only Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine. There are many opportunities on campus to translate data intensive research advances into improved care.

Our team of expert informaticians, software developers, curators, project managers, and others carries out projects to advance research and practice. We aim to produce outputs that drive actionable insights that advance research, clinical practice, healthy communities, and the practice of research itself. We develop and promote the use of knowledge management best practices in an open and extensible model that is targeted towards machine reasoning. We develop, adapt, and apply innovative scientific knowledge management theory and technology to provide computational semantic bridges between disparate knowledge sources and to rigorously evaluate contributions. We seek to enable bioinformatic reasoning and decision-making using all available information.
