Job Description:
Roche Sequencing Solutions is seeking a Research Informatics Scientist to join our team in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Roche Sequencing Solutions is an innovator in genomics focused on developing sample prep and target enrichment solutions for next-generation sequencing. Roche Sequencing Solutions technologies allow researchers to selectively target DNA sequences in the genome of interest for variant discovery and validation, human or non-human, either through pre-built gene panels or custom designed panels. A Research Informatics Scientist II at Roche Sequencing Solutions, Madison participates in product research and development and may also provide bioinformatics support to the Marketing, Sales, and Technical Support teams. They investigate the feasibility of applying a wide variety of statistical and computational techniques to potential inventions, products, and problems while maintaining state-of-the-art skills and techniques. The position requires the use of professional skills to contribute to the development of products and processes and to achieve objectives in creative and effective ways. Position Responsibilities include: -Leading bioinformatics activities for one or more R&D project teams. Acting independently in developing methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Responsible for the timely achievement of overall project goals, within scope and budget for the project. Assisting in the design of experimental plans to support project objectives. Analyzing sequencing and experimental data. -Participating in feasibility research efforts to define new products, processes, or components. Contributes to potentially patentable work. -Assisting the Marketing team to develop technical content for customer facing materials; assisting the Sales team and customers by providing technical guidance as needed. -Assisting Technical Support in training and handling customer complaints and inquiries as needed; ability to provide detailed information on data analysis and algorithms. -Preparing technical reports or summaries and delivers presentations to diverse audiences, including project teams, other departments, collaborators, and customers. -Sharing knowledge and expertise with others.
