Job Description:
Do you wish that your work had a more direct impact on people? Are you excited about the potential of human genetics to make a real difference in the world? At 23andMe, we believe that the current crop of genetic association studies is just the beginning of a tidal wave of development in understanding the influence of genetic variation on human traits, and that our unique database of hundreds of thousands of genotypes and over two hundred million phenotype data points gives us an incredible opportunity to advance both biomedical research and our understanding of ourselves.
We are looking for a colleague with extensive training and experience in computational biology to join our highly productive, world-class research team. The ideal candidate will use their computational skills, statistical knowledge, creativity, and biological insight to develop tools and methods for interpretation of genetic and phenotypic data. The scope and breadth of our vision means that most of the necessary techniques have yet to be developed anywhere in the world.
Qualifications
PhD in Computational Biology or related field (e.g. Genetics, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Physics, Mathematics).
Strong bioinformatics, biostatistics, and algorithm development background.
Proficiency in one or more of Python, R, C/C++, Java, or Scala.
Enthusiasm for working in a highly collaborative environment. Also valuable
Demonstrated record of developing and distributing tools for analysis and visualization of genomics data. About Us
23andMe is the leading personal genetics company. We are dedicated to helping individuals understand their own genetic information through DNA analysis technologies and web-based interactive tools. Our mission is to personalize healthcare by making and supporting meaningful discoveries through genetic research (see www.23andme.com/for/scientists for details). Combining web development, computer science, genetics, social media, and informatics, 23andMe is at the forefront of a new era in personal genetics.
