- Design and develop computational algorithms for de novo assembly of human genomes, contig generation, and data analysis comprising multiple sequence alignment of genomic sequences
- Collaborate with researchers, engineers, cloud-based service developers and other analysts to build solutions that drive development of interdisciplinary projects. Provide quantitative/qualitative feedback (or related, software-based tools) to other teams.
- Generate simple, yet insightful, visuals that encapsulate meaningful trends, patterns, or other observations of importance. Present findings and general progress on a weekly basis.
- Perform other work related duties as assigned.
- M.Sc. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, Computer Science or closely related fields with a focus on applications of next generation sequencing (NGS).
- Hands-on experience in next generation sequencing analysis, including data quality assessment, sequencing data assembling, mapping, variant calling and interpretation
- Proficiency in Unix/Linux scripting, and programming languages (specifically C++), and hands-on experience with commercial and open-source bioinformatics and NGS data analysis tools is required.
- Excellent analytical and organizational skills, with great attention to detail in coding practices.
- Able to execute complex analyses in a timely manner.
- Strong presentation and communication skills.
- Ph.D in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, Computer Science or closely related fields with a focus on applications of next generation sequencing (NGS).
- Publications demonstrating expertise in one or more of the following areas: assembly, phasing, structural variant identification, SNP calling, genome annotation, or GWAS.
- Familiarity with publicly available data sources such as ENCODE, Ensembl, NCBI, TCGA, 1000 Genomes, etc.
- Experience using high performance computing systems for NGS analysis
