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 genetics is on the cusp of huge advances, and that our unique database of hundreds of thousands of genotypes and almost two hundred million phenotype data points gives us an incredible opportunity to advance not only biomedical research, but 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. This person will be involved in the analysis of human genetic data and the development of product features that depend on a mix of computational skills, statistical knowledge, creativity, and biological insight. The scope and breadth of our vision means that most of the necessary techniques have yet to be developed anywhere in the world.
We are looking for someone excited to work with our Product Managers in a cross-functional collaboration to define and design features that help 23andMe deliver a quality experience to our customers. This includes improving existing Ancestry features and tools, as well as developing and expanding in novel directions. This person is also expected to participate in the communication and public relations efforts of the company, including giving scientific talks, presenting at genealogy conferences, and disseminating research findings to a non-scientific audience. Qualifications
PhD in Computational Biology or related field (eg, Genetics, Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Math, Bioinformatics)
Strong bioinformatics and biostatistics background
Background in algorithm development
Proficiency with scripting languages (eg, Python, R, bash)
Enthusiasm for working in a highly collaborative environment Also valuable
Evolutionary or population genetics research experience
Demonstrated record of developing and distributing tools for the analysis and visualization of genomics data
Experience with C/C++
