Job Description:
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated Bioinformatics Scientist to provide technical expertise in analysis of high-throughput data associated with the development of a genomic patient assay as a clinical diagnostic product. This highly-skilled individual will develop and maintain automated tools for processing and interpreting experimental data from NGS and additional platforms in support of the internal R&D program and as part of on-going comprehensive clinical studies of mutations in tumor DNA and RNA. Work with an interdisciplinary group of computational and molecular biologists focused on the using massively parallel sequencing technology for the characterization of genetic alterations present in tumor genomic DNA and RNA Develop, maintain and analyze lab QC metrics to support R&D and lab operations Process, analyze and interpret high volumes of data as part of internal and external clinical studies Develop automated methods and software to support large-scale bioinformatics analysis Prepare and deliver presentations based on scientific and technical progress/innovations Work independently and prepare timetables, deliverables, and project schedules PhD degree in Bioinformatics or related field; or MS with 3+ years of experience Experience in processing of high-volume genomic data such as microarrays or NGS Experience in working with bioinformatics portals/databases such us UCSC Genome Browser, NCBI Entrez, dbSNP. Working knowledge of Python or other scripting language. Ability to understand and modify existing code, as well as develop new scripts. Ability to work in a multidisciplinary, fast-paced, dynamic and results-oriented startup environment Ability to present data to a multidisciplinary audience in a clear and cohesive manner. Facile with graphical data presentation tools including excel, jupyter notebooks or R. High energy level, a driving sense of urgency and a “can do” orientation with a focus on scientific integrity and clinically useful results Excellent teamwork, time management and organizational skills Desired Skills and Experience Prior experience in regulated, clinical diagnostics environment is preferred Background in cancer biology is a strong plus Experience in NGS data analysis is preferred
Additional Info:
Foundation Medicine is dedicated to bringing personalized cancer care into routine clinical practice. Harnessing advanced technology, Foundation Medicine develops and runs clinical laboratory tests that broadly capture the most relevant tumor genomic profile and other molecular information and connects it with relevant scientific and medical knowledge to allow oncologists to determine the right treatment for each patient throughout the patient's journey. Their team-oriented environment integrates laboratory science, cancer genetics and genomics, process data metrics and clinical data in order to bring cutting-edge new assays to market. If you are looking for an opportunity to work with the best and brightest on hard problems whose solutions will have real impact on patients' lives, please read on.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
