Job Description:
Bionano Genomics is looking for a talented, highly innovative bioinformatics scientist to perform large-scale genomic analysis aligned with key Bionano goals to address specific biological questions. Bionano’s high-throughput single-molecule genome mapping platform enables comprehensive genome structural analysis. The candidate will perform analysis on these map data as well as NGS sequence data to generate insights into biological structural variants and their association with diseases. The bioinformatics scientist will be joining a highly collaborative environment with expertise in multiple areas. To be based on San Diego, the successful candidate must have in-depth knowledge of contemporary bioinformatics approaches for sequence analysis. He or she will have the ability to perform advanced genomic analysis and to analyze and interpret a large volume of diverse datasets to drive genomic discovery. This position requires scientific rigor and the capacity to perform independent analysis. Primary duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following: • Perform data mining, analysis, and integration on genomic data from Bionano, NGS, and other high-throughput platforms (microarray, aCGH, physical/genetic mapping etc.). • Extract features of interest from data relating to specific biological questions. • Design, implement, and validate analysis pipeline and algorithms, and provide written documentation. • Contribute to presentation of methods, results, conclusions, and recommendations. • Work closely with Research and Development on internal and external projects. Requirements
