Job Description:
We are seeking a creative, highly motivated and experienced Bioinformatician to build a team and establish a bioinformatics platform at our South San Francisco site to support the generation and characterization of new algal strains for the production of triglyceride oils for a broad range of applications - including aquaculture, food, chemical, and personal care. This individual will be responsible for developing and implementing bioinformatics tools to help our research team better understand our non-model production organisms and identify strategies to improve their performances. He/she will also oversee the maintenance of our internal LIMS and assist in its integration with external software. In this role, he/she will serve as the resident Bioinformatics expert. This is a truly unique opportunity to work with novel organisms in a highly interactive and dynamic environment. RESPONSIBILITIES:
