Company : Seres Therapeutics Country : Role : Research Scientist
Job Description:
Seres Therapeutics is seeking talented, highly-motivated Scientists and Computational Biologists to play a key role in the company’s Ecobiotic® therapeutics discovery programs in infectious, metabolic, and inflammatory disease. The successful candidate will work intimately with research teams across the organization to translate critical insights in the field of the human microbiome into therapeutic leads. The successful candidate will leverage systems biology and comparative genomic approaches to identify the ecological and functional microbial signatures of health and disease states across multiple disease indications. The candidate will be innovative and able to independently make novel contributions to discovery efforts and the development of methods to elucidate key host-microbiome interactions as they relate to states of disease and health.
Principal Computational Biologist
Key Responsibilities:
Implement quantitative methods, metrics, and analytical pipelines for evaluating and interpreting microbiome data sets, balancing adoption of publicly available tools with targeted internal code development
Develop strategies for visualization of complex biological results to facilitate communication of results among project team members and for inclusion in regulatory documents and journal publications.
Maintain current awareness of emerging approaches and methods in microbiome genomic and systems biology analyses and provide expert support to cross-disciplinary project teams
Keep abreast of scientific literature and interact with internal and external scientists to integrate biological insights into lead characterization and screening efforts
Contribute to the development of the company’s intellectual property estate
Qualifications:
Ph.D. or Masters in microbial genomics, computational biology, microbiology, or other related scientific field.
PhD with 8+ years or Masters with equivalent years of relevant work experience in bioinformatics and/or statistical analysis of genomic data sets
Demonstrated ability to analyze high-dimensional biological data sets, and to be a primary contributor to the design and execution of metagenomic, transcriptomic, or metabolomic experiments and analyses for the study of microbial systems
Experience with microbiome data analysis and/or functional prediction of microbial systems using pathway analysis preferred
Demonstrated proficiency in at least one analytical language (e.g. R or Matlab) and/or programing skills in one or more languages (preferred: Python, Perl, or C++)
Proficiency in UNIX/Linux development environment
Experience developing analytical workflows for transcriptomic or metabolomics data sets a plus
Familiarity with machine learning methods for model development and prediction a plus
Experience in SQL database management and queries a plus
Must be able to work both independently and collaboratively in fast-paced development environment with competing priorities
