- You will be qualified to MSc (or higher) in Bioinformatics, or 3 years or more of working experience in a commercial bioinformatics position.
- Experience with NGS data analysis is required, as are programming skills (for example in R, Python or Perl) and knowledge of core bioinformatics tools (BLAST, samtools, primer3, etc).
- Strong knowledge of genomics and biology is required, as is knowledge of relevant databases (dbSNP, COSMIC, etc).
- An interest in the areas of molecular diagnostics, biomarker development and IVD development is a benefit but not a requirement.
- Key personal qualities include attention to detail, initiative and drive, and being a strong team player.
- The successful candidate will be a keen learner and enjoy solving technically demanding challenges.
- The ability to disseminate technical bioinformatics knowledge and results to non-experts and development leads is a must.
- The role includes frequent interaction with international colleagues, and awareness of cultural differences is an advantage.
