Job Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated Scientist to join the Regeneron Genetics Center, Functional Modeling group, at Tarrytown, NY. Our ideal candidate should have a strong expertise in multiple fields of study, included molecular and cellular biology, genetics and bioinformatics. The preferred candidate will be responsible of designing and executing interdisciplinary research projects using a wide breadth of experimental and bioinformatics techniques aiming at exploring the genetic basis of human diseases as well as modeling disease-associated variant alleles.The scientist will be expected to support both ongoing projects and to initiate new avenues of research.The position will require coordination and collaboration with other scientists within the department, research and clinical scientists at Regeneron, and external collaborators. Responsibilities: Design and conduct experiments that will adopt state-of-the-art technologies as well as trouble shoot under minimal supervision. Use state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools to perform genomic and transcriptomic data analysis and dissect the molecular basis of complex genetic diseases. Technical Skills: Broad experience in molecular and cellular biology, genomics and bioinformatics is essential. Analyze proprietary and public profiling data to support specific genetic findings. Managerial Skills: Provide scientific and technical supervision to junior staff. Maintain scientific curiosity and familiarity with current advances in emerging technologies and literatures, and apply such knowledge toward development of new or improved research directions. Ability to multitask and manage simultaneous projects. Excellent oral and written communication skills. Strong work ethic and enthusiasm for collaborative science. Requirements: This position requires a minimum of a PhD in a related field, and preferably 3+ years postdoctoral experience in the field of molecular biology, genetics, functional genomics, bioinformatics or related field. It is essential that the successful candidate enjoys both wet and dry bench science. Additional Requirements Include, But Are Not Limited To: Experience in applying state of the art molecular and cellular biology techniques. Expertise in performing routine culturing of mammalian tissue culture cells. Experience with a variety of functional genomics platforms such as microarray and NGS, and their data analysis best practices. Keen interest in learning cutting-edge algorithms to computationally model human disease and gene networks. Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and software such as R/Matlab, Linux, Perl, Java. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Candidates must interact effectively with fellow scientists and research associates and to maintain a high level of productivity as a team player in a fast-paced collaborative environment. Excellent communication and presentation skills as well as documented skills in communicating scientific findings. Experience in confocal microscopy is not required, but it is a plus. Strong publication record. Level will be commensurate with experience. This position will require the individual to pass a physical before beginning employment. This is an opportunity to join our select team that is already leading the way in the Pharmaceutical/Biotech industry. Apply today and learn more about Regeneron Genetics Center’s unwavering commitment to combining good science & good business.

The Regeneron Genetics Center is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized to collaborate with health systems and research groups to elucidate, on a large scale, genetic factors that cause or influence a range of human diseases. Building upon Regeneron's strengths in mouse genetics and genetics-driven drug discovery and development, the Center will specialize in ultra-high-throughput exome sequencing and computational biology; discovery of genotype-phenotype associations through linkage to well-annotated de-identified patient electronic medical records; and validation of discoveries using Regeneron’s VelociGene® technology. Our interests encompass a breadth of different areas such as Mendelian and family frameworks, large-scale population genetics (both common and rare variants), and gene-gene interactions. Program goals include target discovery, indication discovery, and patient-disease stratification. Objectives include advancing basic science around the world through public sharing of discoveries, providing clinically-valuable insights to physicians and patients of collaborating health-care systems, and identifying novel targets for drug development.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
