Job Description:
We have an opening on our assay development team for a skilled and experienced bioinformatician who has experience with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). The assay development team designs and develops fully-automated, high-throughput next generation sequencing-based genetic tests from concept through commercial launch. Our team strives to create a highly collaborative environment, with an emphasis on cross-functional projects and teams. We are constantly assessing and integrating cutting-edge technology into our laboratory and development process. You will play a key role in early development work on new assays and features to move toward our goal to make affordable and comprehensive genetic testing a reality. Requirements and Responsibilities:
Additional Info:
Invitae envisions a world in which genomic sequencing routinely informs lifelong health care decisions. We provide comprehensive, rapid, and affordable genome sequencing and clinically relevant interpretations of genomic data. We are committed to enabling the utilization of genomic data in order to improve health, catalyze scientific and medical research, and contribute to improved outcomes for everyone. Invitae is an open, title free company that operates as a meritocracy. We focus intently on our ability to deliver reliable solutions that contribute to improving people's lives. We ruthlessly eliminate overhead and policies that interfere with productivity. We have excellent benefits. Our new San Francisco location is in the Potrero Hill/Mission area.
