Job Description:
We are currently seeking a Data Scientist with Machine Learning for our client in the Staffing and Solutions domain. We value our professionals, providing comprehensive benefits, exciting challenges, and the opportunity for growth. This is a Full-Time position and the client is looking for someone to start immediately.

The Data Scientist with Machine Learning would need to have at least 7-9 years of experience. This Candidate must be a data scientist with expertise in machine learning and its use in deciphering novel associations in complex biological systems.

The successful candidate will be a member of a close-knit team of experimental and computational biologists analyzing large, multidimensional genomic datasets from internal and external sources, and will develop novel predictive models characterizing cellular regulation.

KEY Skills:

- Strong background in statistics and good knowledge and experience with machine learning approaches.

- Must be from a Science background – that has a genuine interest in Next generation Gene sequencing.

- Prior experience with Statistical tools like “R” and Python are a strong PLUS.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and implementation of advanced predictive models incorporating diverse data types.

- Integration of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms as well as the development of new methods.

- Identification, assessment, and deployment of newly published techniques, staying current with the field.

- Team with experimentalists to translate models into testable hypotheses.

- Develop tools to support analysis and visualization of large datasets.

Qualifications:

- Strong background in statistics, machine learning, deep learning, graph/network analysis, or systems biology.

- Experience in solving large-scale real-world biological problems, preferably in collaboration with cross-functional, multi-disciplinary teams.

- Recognized excellence in applied machine learning through publication in top-tier peer-reviewed journals or conferences.

- Knowledge of statistical programming techniques and languages (e.g., R, Python, Java, etc.).

- Working knowledge of common machine learning approaches (e.g. regression, dimensionality reduction, un/supervised techniques, Bayesian reasoning, boosting, random forests, deep learning) and bioinformatics data analysis packages (e.g. scikit-learn, bioconductor, limma, pathways analysis, MLlib, ADAM).

- Comfort and proficiency in UNIX/HPC systems and experience using cloud compute (e.g. AWS, Azure).

- Familiarity with NoSQL databases, graphical analyses, and large-scale data processing frameworks (e.g. Apache Spark).

- Familiarity with high-throughput next-generation sequencing platforms and their analysis.

- Solid understanding of data structures, software design and architecture.

- Ability to work independently and take initiative, but also a co-operative team player.

- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational Biology, Machine learning, or related discipline.
