Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced bioinformatics scientist to lead our next-generation sequencing (NGS) efforts and to build our data analysis pipeline. Characterization and analysis of the plant transcriptome (in model systems and in crops) is a key part of Asilomar’s discovery efforts and mode of action programs. The position will work in our biology team, with close collaboration with chemistry and agronomy groups to understand compound action from the molecular level to the field scale. The position will be based in the San Francisco Bay Area and report to the VP of Biology.
Additional Info:
At Asilomar Bio, we’re working to improve agriculture by tackling some of the biggest challenges that farmers encounter. We are a life science company developing chemical and biological products to improve crop harvest yields and resource efficiency. We believe that using chemistry to reprogram plant physiology (including water use, nutrient use, photosynthesis, and development) will enable a ‘step change’ in agricultural productivity and sustainability.
