Job Description:
10X Genomics is looking for an outstanding individual to join its Computational Biology group. This person will lead the analysis of all internally generated data as well as the design of custom assays and experiments. These analyses and experiments will drive the prioritization of technology development within the company. This position is a unique opportunity to work on an exciting and novel form of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data that enables a wide array of previously unachievable applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in computational analysis as well as strong hands-on knowledge of biochemistry. He or she will also be deeply knowledgeable about existing NGS technologies and have a keen intuition for NGS data. The right candidate must also have strong programming skills in a scripting language and a deep interest in the applications of NGS data. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate results clearly are a must. This position will interact closely with colleagues in biochemistry, microfluidics, chemistry and software.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop custom analyses to assess and guide development of the core technology
- Communicate results of sequencing analyses to colleagues across all disciplines
- Define and prioritize the development of experimental metrics for tracking performance improvements
- Design custom experiments and assays
Desired Skills and Background
- PhD in computational/systems biology or related field
- Programming ability in Python (experience in R a plus)
- Familiarity with the fundamentals of nucleic acid biochemistry: principles of PCR, ligation, DNA replication, next-generation sequencing
- Hands on experience analyzing large scale datasets (microarray, NGS data)
- A combination of mathematical depth with a healthy respect for the imperfections inherent in real-world data
- Experience developing new technologies and/or commercializing NGS-based products a plus
- The ability to interpret experimental data critically
- Energetic and curious
- Ability to work in a fast-paced and quickly changing environment
