Job Description:
Vedanta is looking for a talented bioinformatician to help translate discoveries in microbiology and mucosal immunology into new treatments for a range of immune and infectious diseases. The RA will perform bioinformatics analysis of next-generation sequencing data. The principal activities will include bacterial isolate genome assembly, open reading frame prediction, functional pathway analysis, and metagenomic analysis of microbial communities. Analyses will also involve the implementation of statistical algorithms to infer taxonomic or functional associations among sample groups to support ongoing clinical and pre-clinical programs. The job title and level will correspond to the experience and skills of the selected candidate. Requirements:
Additional Info:
Why join Vedanta Biosciences: Vedanta is pioneering the development of a new class of therapies that act by modulating the human microbiome. Modulation of the human microbiota holds enormous promise to treat a broad range of immune and infectious diseases in ways that are completely different to existing drug classes. Breakthrough discoveries of our scientific team in the field of mucosal immunology have led to the first rationally designed drug candidates in the microbiome field. Vedanta was founded by PureTech Health and a team of world renowned experts in immunology and microbiology. We invite you to explore our site to learn more about our company and how our discovery platform enables identification of bacterial consortia with drug-like properties and their manufacture to GMP standards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Vision: We are harnessing the human microbiome to enable a new drug modality based on rationally defined bacterial consortia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vedanta is committed to equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination for all employees and qualified applicants without regard to a person’s race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation or any characteristic protected under applicable law.
