In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop potentially novel algorithms which may be packaged into R&D analytical modules. Responsibilities:
- Using current Thermo Fisher analytical software workflows, design analytical strategies with fully defined metrics to evaluate performance of custom NGS assays targeting specific gene targets and generating gene expression profiles.
- Modify and integrate any panel specific parameter customizations while developing a testing schema to be employed for assay validation which includes all relevant variant calling metrics as defined by you and the clinical diagnostics team.
- Position also will require regular communication with Ion Torrent(TM) software teams and clinical diagnostics teams.
- Position also requires frequent data analysis / software development summaries to be presented to and reviewed by the team and coordinate with various stakeholders in system/primary/secondary/tertiary analysis to drive issues to resolution
- or higher in Bioinformatics, Biomedical engineering, Computer science/engineering or related fields.
- MS degree in Molecular biology with 3+ years of working experiences in bioinformatics field will also be considered.
- Strong knowledge of sequence analysis and bioinformatics tools and public databases, e.g. IGV, BLAST, Ensembl, NCBI, UCSC Genome browser, OMIM, COSMIC etc.
- 3+ years of Software development skills and experience.
- Strong development skills Python/Perl experience is needed.
- Strong expertise working in a Linux/Unix environment.
- Good understanding of software design and development cycle.
- Product development and / or industry experience in a multi-disciplinary Biotech environment is a plus.
