Job Description:
We seek a talented, collaborative interdisciplinary scientist to catalyze the development and application of computational approaches for translating genetic associations to mechanistic understandings. The successful candidate will develop and apply computational strategies to extract mechanistic insights from large proprietary genetic-centric and omics rich human datasets. In particular, this role is expected to elucidate context-specific and genetic-inspired mechanisms in autoimmune and/or neurodegeneration diseases by:

•Developing QTL analyses and network-centric approaches for carrying forward genetic variations into mechanistic insights;

•Pioneering deep-learning algorithms for biomedical research;

•Deriving novel insights using longitudinal progression-based patient records.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to leverage access to proprietary resources and broad team expertise within the industry setting.

Expertise in genetics and omics datasets are prerequisite. Experiences in algorithm development are highly desired.

Qualifications:

PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, or related disciplines

Skills/Knowledge Required:

•Expertise in GWAS and QTL analyses.

• Experience with public datasets GTEx, ENCODE, ADNI a plus.

• Experience with deep learning a plus.

• Experience with relevant programming/scripting tools (e.g. R, MATLAB,Python, C/C++).

• Knowledge and/or interests in autoimmune and/or neurodegeneration indications a bonus.

• A track record demonstrating scientific creativity, collaboration, and independence.

• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
