Job Description:
As a Bioinformatics Data Scientist at Roche Sequencing Santa Clara, you will design and analyze experiments to drive development of our sequencing technology and apply it to a wide range of applications. The successful candidate must be excited about learning new concepts from both life and physical sciences and applying them to an interdisciplinary project.

The majority of the time will be spent designing and analyzing experiments to better understand DNA sequencing experiments. This involves isolating specific components of the system as well as seeing how different combinations behave, with an eye on making the output as useful as possible for the different use cases (research, clinical, etc.). You will also be responsible for updating, maintaining and testing portions of our automated analysis pipeline.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and analyze statistical experiments with various groups to better characterize DNA sequencing process
  • Design metrics and reports to summarize complex trends in performance of sequencing
  • Improve and maintain bioinformatics and main analysis pipeline
  • Quickly write scripts to automate routine analysis tasks
Who you are:

You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

  • Experience with scientific programming (Python, Matlab, R, etc.) is a must
  • Experience with analysis of high throughput biological data
  • Experience with next generation sequencing and its standard analysis tools a plus.
  • Experience with statistical modeling and machine learning a plus
  • BS or M.Sc. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, Molecular Biology, Chemistry or similar
