Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced bioinformatics scientist proficient in computational and statistical techniques to develop novel computational approaches for analysis of next generation DNA sequencing data.

Duties:

-Independently develop novel approaches to analyzing genomic data.

-Utilize statistical and machine learning techniques to aide in the interpretation of quantitative genomic data.

-Build robust and scalable software (e.g. pipelines) to process large genomic data sets both locally on an HPC cluster and in the cloud.

-Work closely with more experimentally focused scientists and clinical geneticists to help push forward key company objectives.

-Apply rigorous scientific and engineering standards to your specialized knowledge and skills.

Requirements:

-Education (PhD) and experience in a quantitatively focused field (e.g. bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, bioengineering, statistics, or mathematics), or commensurate experience with a proven ability to function in a role with this level of responsibility.

-Strong command of statistics and probability and their application to quantitative analyses.

-3+ years of programming experience with both compiled (Java preferred) and interpreted (Python strongly preferred) languages. Experience with other languages is a plus.

-Experience and comfort working in a Linux/Unix environment.

-Proven track record analyzing next-generation DNA sequencing data or performing genomic analyses a strong plus.

-Demonstrated ability to glean novel/key features from large data sets.

-Experience performing quantitative analyses on large genomic datasets. Willingness to independently analyze results from a next-generation DNA sequencer and help molecular biologists plan follow-on experiments.

-Understanding of molecular biology and human genetics/genomics highly desirable.

-Statistical/population genetics experience a plus.

-Industry or production next generation DNA sequencing experience (e.g., product development and commercialization) a plus.

-Experience with sequence variant annotation considered a plus.

-Experience developing novel approaches to process data.

-Experience developing novel tools for human genetic analyses.
