Job Description:
Our client is a genomics company that provides physicians information to optimize treatment for cancer patients. They are seeking a self-motivated bioinformatics scientist to develop and support cloud-based pipelines for the analysis of tumor targeted re-sequencing data of cancer patients. They are looking for a PhD level Bioinformatics Scientist candidate with cancer genomics and NGS experience. The ideal candidate will enjoy the fast-paced environment of a high-tech start-up and be flexible to take on diverse roles and tasks. What you will do as a Bioinformatics Scientist: · Implementing analysis workflows for the identification and interpretation of actionable cancer somatic mutations from different types of tumor and normal tissue samples of cancer patients · Involved in data analysis projects involving the results from large cohorts of patients involved in clinical trials · Select, test, and implement bioinformatics pipelines for the analysis, annotation, and interpretation of cancer genomic data · Perform analysis of aggregated results from patient cohorts, applying the appropriate multivariate statistical analysis, machine learning, and visualization methods · Translate findings into recommendations for improvements and the development of new products · Present results of analyzes to internal stakeholders and customers/collaborators · Implement quality control metrics and procedures to prevent and detect errors · Insure that all work is properly documented, code is under change control, and provenance of data is maintained · Openly communicate results and progress to management team · Provide regular progress reports and updates on schedules Qualifications for the Bioinformatics Scientist: · PhD in bioinformatics, computer science, applied mathematics/physics, genetics, and/or quantitative biological sciences · 3-5 year expertise in computational biology and bioinformatics focused on NGS applications including genome variation, cancer genomics, transcriptomics, etc. · In-depth knowledge of NGS genomic data analysis and bioinformatics tools (BWA, SamTools, GATK, FreeBayes, MuTect, VarScan etc.) and current data formats (e.g. VCF, BAM/SAM). · Excellent understanding of the impact of small and large/structural variants in the human genome and methods for their identification and annotation w.r.t. functional impact. · Scripting or programming expertise for bioinformatics (Perl/Python, Java, C/C++) is a must. · Versed in the inner workings and limitations of modern high-throughput sequencing platforms (Illumina, Ion Torrent). · Proven ability to develop data analysis methods & algorithms, use of common machine learning tools (e.g. SciKit, Weka), and proficiency in the use of common statistical analysis tools (e.g. R, MatLab) is highly desirable. · UNIX environment expertise including clustering and parallelization of analysis jobs is necessary. · Experience with cloud computing environments (e.g. AWS, Google), distributed computing tools (StartCluster, Hadoop, Spark), and containerization (e.g. Docker) is highly desirable. · Prior industry experience as well as record of developing clinical pipelines is desirable. · Track record of successful interactions with bench biologists, a scientific publication record, and excellent communication skills are pluses. The Perks: · Competitive salary, pre-IPO stock options and PTO · Generous medical, dental and vision coverage · An opportunity to enter on the ground floor of a leading start-up, and truly make a difference · Well-stocked kitchen with unlimited drinks and snacks, and frequent catered meals · New offices centrally located · Team outings, birthday celebrations, and holiday party · A culture that fosters fun, creativity, and respect As a part of their experienced scientific team, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow, interacting with world-class clinical researchers and making an impact in the quality of life of cancer patients.
