Job Description:
Roche is the world leader in in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and tissue-based cancer diagnostics and a front runner in diabetes management. Roche Sequencing is seeking a talented and motivated scientist to lead the analysis strategies for a range of next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications of future IVD products. The position requires learning domain specific biological concepts and implementing potentially complex algorithmic and statistical designs. That is, the scientist must be comfortable managing and / or engaging biologists, technologists, statisticians and bioinformaticians to produce a portfolio of platform independent solutions for the next generation of IVD products.
Responsibilities:
Provide bioinformatics leadership for internal R&D by engaging scientists, scoping problems, designing and implementing analysis solutions for the purpose of diagnostic product development in oncology and genetics.
Lead the design and implementation of (prototype) workflows for the analysis of NGS data from a multitude of study designs, diseases areas and analytes in a platform independent manner.
Serve as the subject matter expert for statistical, algorithmic and computational issues relevant to the analytical and clinical validation of NGS tests.
Work iteratively with stakeholders to address problems relevant to hypothesis testing and biomarker validation in a range of biological contexts. Effectively weigh the costs and benefits of de novo implementations versus adapting publicly available software.
Who you are You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.
Detailed knowledge of algorithms underlying common NGS analysis tools. This includes in-depth knowledge of probability and statistics (especially dynamic programming and graphical models) as demonstrated by graduate level course work.
A track record of solving complex biological problems as demonstrated by senior authorship in peer review publications.
A track record for effectively communicating and visualizing information.
Expert knowledge of R (Bioconductor) and a scripting language such as Python.
Previous experience working in a high-performance computing environment.
Familiar with oncology and genetics.
PhD in computer science, statistics or a related discipline.
Minimum of 5 years of post-doctoral experience in academia or industry.
Experience building and / or managing a team.
Must be comfortable providing leadership in a competitive landscape and operating independently with incomplete information.
Who we are At Roche, 88,500 people across 150 countries are pushing back the frontiers of healthcare. Working together, we’ve become one of the world’s leading research-focused healthcare groups. Our success is built on innovation, curiosity and diversity.
