Bioinformatics Scientist

Bioinformatics Scientist   Why is one person more likely to develop a disease, like cancer, than someone else? Why would one person respond differently to treatment than another? Illumina’s technologies are helping researchers and clinicians around the world to answer these questions and others, on a scale not even possible a few years ago.   Illumina is the only life sciences company developing genome-wide technologies for genotyping, gene expression and sequencing—the three cornerstones of modern genetic analysis. By enabling studies of thousands of patient samples at once, our products set genetic discovery on fast forward. And we’re just getting started.   Summary At Illumina we have a large number of Bioinformatics Scientist positions open, and we’re scaling as we continue to grow.  We are focused on tackling some of the most challenging problems in integrative genomics spanning diverse research and clinical applications. If you are an expert in one or more of the following areas, we would like to hear from you.   Responsibilities:

• Algorithm development -- development of algorithms for statistical analysis and meta-analysis of vast amount of studies across various data types and platforms for basic research, drug discovery and clinical applications
• Database integration -- compilation and integration of the most up-to-date bioinformatics/genomics/proteomics resources used to analyze and interpret diverse types of omics data
• Data analysis -- apply best practice statistical/computational methods to analyze large-scale biological data, such as gene expression, copy-number, mutation, methylation, NGS, GWAS, etc.
• Pipeline development -- design and develop pipelines to automate established analysis so that thousands of studies of same type can be analyzed in a robust manner
