Job Description:
Illumina RGH are seeking an experienced data scientist to support the creation of the next generation of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) products. Working with scientists and software engineers, you will be expected to contribute to product development from concept to launch and beyond. This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in creating cutting-edge technologies that have direct impacts on patients' lives. Your Responsibilities May Include: -Developing novel classification algorithms for identifying genomic variants -Experimental design and data analysis to support assay development -Writing high-quality, production-grade code The Candidate: This role would ideally suit a candidate with a PhD in bioinformatics, mathematics, physics or related field. You will be as confident building a pipeline of tools to analyse NGS data as you will be building a multilevel linear model to assess the outcome of an experiment. Key Requirements -Excellent mathematical and statistical knowledge -Proficiency in using Python or R for data analysis -Previous experience working with genomic data -Ability to work both independently or as part of a team -Able to prioritize tasks and work concurrently on multiple projects with minimal supervision Strongly Beneficial: -Practical experience of machine learning techniques -An understanding of computer clusters and Unix environments -Experience of working under a quality management system -Knowledge of software engineering best practices

Illumina Reproductive & Genetic Health (RGH) Make a difference! Illumina RGH are developing ways to inform the care of patients from preconception through pregnancy and beyond using the power of genomics. Join a team of award winning scientists, software developers and informaticians (Queens Award for Enterprise) that work at the forefront of personalized medicine and diagnostics. This is your chance to work with a company changing the way we think about human reproductive health and providing tools that may one day make inherited disease a thing of the past. Illumina RGH’s site in Fulbourn, Cambridge serves as a R&D, marketing, software development and production facility housing over 60 people in a high tech facility. With laboratories and production facilities on site, this is a great place to work and really feels at the heart of the biotechnology revolution. The Team Want to work on problems in data science, informatics and computational biology that truly have immediate clinical impact? The Informatics team at Illumina RGH is made up of mathematicians, statisticians, data scientists and bioinformaticians who turn the terabytes of data generated by Illumina’s technology into sophisticated products used by clinicians to inform patient care. The team works on a myriad of projects from new product development, technology transfer, high level trouble shooting and supporting the development of Illumina’s software by prototyping cutting edge data mining tools. Illumina believes that everyone has the ability to make an impact, and we are proud to be an equal opportunities employer committed to providing employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, creed, color, gender, religion, marital status, domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, pregnancy, military or veteran status, citizenship status, and genetic information.
