Job Description:
How will you make an impact? We're seeking a highly skilled individual with experience building models, algorithms, and software for analysis of next-generation DNA sequencing and managing a team. The successful candidate will lead a multi-disciplinary team performing analysis and developing applications for Ion Torrent DNA sequencing instruments. As part of this team, they will be expected to work in a fast paced, complex setting to hard deliverables in a collaborative environment. Critical thinking, determination to succeed, the willingness and courage to push the boundaries on the possible and the drive to deliver are key attributes. The candidate will lead a team to prototype, adopt, improve, develop, optimize and validate algorithms and analysis software to analyze DNA sequencing data for oncology applications; for example, to detect low frequency variant detection in blood, to detect gene fusions, to detect deleterious deletions, etc. The candidate will participate in the design and analysis of experiments and samples needed, will report and document methods and results, will integrate these methods into production software, and will collaborate with key internal and external groups. What will you do?
