Job Description:
The Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at Genentech has an outstanding opportunity available for a highly motivated computational biologist. This individual will work closely with the Immunology Discovery and Immunology Diagnostics departments in the development of novel therapeutics and biomarkers for use in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Immunological diseases are characterized by a highly heterogeneous presentation in human populations, often with a strong genetic contribution. Our goal is to develop therapies that we can effectively target to the appropriate patient population. This individual will work with immunology scientists from early pre-clinical research to clinical stage programs, to deliver life-changing therapies to patients. Who You Are: We are seeking candidates who possess the following skills and experience. The level of the position will depend on the qualifications of the selected candidate. -PhD in Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology or related discipline, preferably with experience in the field of Immunology -Candidates with 2+ years of postdoctoral experience may be considered for the Scientist level -Record of publication in high-impact scientific journals, including first author publications; on-going publication of scientific or methodological papers will be strongly encouraged in this role -Strong background in next generation sequencing data analysis -Highly proficient in writing code in R or a similar programming language such as Matlab, Perl, or Python for bioinformatics analyses -Strong understanding and interest in biology with the proven ability to contribute to scientific efforts focused on understanding diseases -Ability to work collaboratively with bench scientists to solve complex biological problems -Passionate about applying skills in genomics analysis to utilize bioinformatics methods (e.g. from Bioconductor) to understand the biology of disease -Ability to work successfully as the bioinformatics lead in cross functional teams that contribute to drug and biomarker development -Skill in presenting complex results, both verbally and in writing, to diverse bioinformatics and non-bioinformatics audiences -Ability to work effectively in a team oriented environment
