A good phrase/verb to replace “introduce”
I am giving a presentation to introduce the career path of bioinformatics researchers to a group of Ph.D. students.
In the presentation abstract I have:
I will [introduce] the responsibilities and skill sets of a bioinformatics researcher.
I feel the word "introduce" is inappropriate. I am also considering "dig into".
What are some alternative phrases to express that I'll "discuss the role in detail"?

Welcome to EL&U. One of the expectations of Stack Exchange is that you demonstrate your initial research efforts. For example, what does a thesaurus say about possible synonyms for introduce? I strongly encourage you to take the sitie tour and review the help center for additional guidance.

What are you trying to express? Introduce and dig in have very different meanings, so it's odd that you've considered both of them. And what's wrong with just using discuss?

You may want to consider "outline." See the definition below:
If you outline an idea or a plan, you explain it in a general way (source).
However, the verb to outline is about explaining something in general, not discussing something in detail.
So, perhaps, to go into something is more appropriate:
If you go into something, you describe or examine it fully or in detail (source):
I will not go into these texts in any depth as I am sure that many of
you will want to comment on various provisions.
I won't go into too much description of any of these projects.
I will not go into any substantive analysis of this draft resolution.
So, I suggest the following: "I'd like to go into description of the responsibilities and skill sets of a bioinformatics researcher" (in case you really want to pay much attention to the issue).

I'll suggest the word expound on/upon. Associated synonyms are explain, run through, define, put across, clarify etc.
Expound (verb) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/expound
to give a detailed explanation of something Or to explain by setting forth in careful and often elaborate detail
He continued to expound on the failings of our educational system.
Expound a law.
Your sentence:
I will expound on/run through the responsibilities and skill sets of a bioinformatics researcher.
