Job Description:
We seek an entry-level bioinformaticist / computational biologist to join our team. You will possess a unique hybrid skill set, having: a) a strong background in high-level mathematics (to generate algorithms needed to mine these data sets), b) advanced computer science skills (to encode these algorithms in computational code needed to run the analyses), and c) a sufficient background in the biology being studied (to connect the algorithms/code generated to the relevant biological hypotheses being explored). Qualifications:
Additional Info:
Procter & Gamble’s Global Biotechnology organization drives consumer delight and brand loyalty through leadership in biological innovation. Our mission is to deliver superior end-to-end innovation that provides irresistible consumer product experiences utilizing cutting edge biotechnology tools and expertise. We create and translate high-quality, science-backed biological breakthroughs that inspire and enable solutions to transform the daily lives of our consumers. As part of the Global Biotechnology organization, Procter & Gamble’s Bioinformatics team is a group of computational biologists who employ the power of computer-based analytical techniques to explore biological data sets to enable our R&D organization to: 1) develop fundamental understanding of biology related to our business interests, 2) define mechanisms of action needed to provide consumer benefits, 3) identify specific molecules that can deliver these benefits, 4) prepare patent applications to protect intellectual property associated with novel approaches developed to do this work, and 5) support the “credentialing” of this science with external stakeholders (e.g., thought leaders; science editors; consumers of our products). Computational biology/bioinformatics has become a critical component of life science-based discovery work. Such techniques include whole genome sequencing, chip-based gene expression profiling, next-generation RNASeq-based characterization of differential gene expression, metagenomic sequencing of entire microbial communities, etc. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, protected veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, citizenship, HIV/AIDS status or any other legally protected factor. Immigration sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants for U.S. based positions are generally required to be eligible to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future sponsorship. Except in rare situations based on Procter & Gamble's sole discretion. Procter & Gamble does not sponsor candidates for permanent residency. Any exceptions would be based on the Company's specific business needs at the time and place of recruitment as well as the particular qualifications of the individual. Procter & Gamble participates in e-verify as required by law. Qualified individuals will not be disadvantaged based on being unemployed. **Please include your resume and a brief summary of your research in the resume text field (maximum characters 64,000).**[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
