Job Description:
As part of that mission, we are seeking a bioinformatics scientist to contribute to genotyping by sequencing (GBS) projects related to trait selection for plant and animal breeders. As a member of our team, the scientist will design panels for massively multiplexed amplification and targeted sequencing of specific variations of interest to customers within plant and animal genomes. The scientist will utilize and assist in the development of analysis pipelines for automating the design of custom genotyping panels and for analyzing GBS data. The scientist will work with an interdisciplinary team to develop and support next-generation sequencing-based products to that end. Our group also has an active program around microbial detection in Animal Health and the scientist may also contribute to those projects as needed. The scientist will communicate the results of bioinformatics analyses in oral presentations and written reports to biologists and others unfamiliar with computational tools and methods. The candidate must be self-motivated and independent and be able to manage time among a number of projects related to microbial detection. RESPONSIBILITIES:
