Exceptional written and verbal communication and organization skills are required. Key Responsibilities Includes:
- Collaborate with research & clinical scientists to conceive informatics analysis strategy and independently execute bioinformatics analysis that support discovery and pre-clinical studies such as new target identification and biomarker development
- Build custom analysis methods per project analysis needs that can executed by other computational and genomics scientists
- Collaborate with software engineers to maintain and build computational infrastructure and pipelines
- Identify and/or conceive novel mathematical approaches to better and more efficiently analyze internal and public datasets and to ask novel biological questions.
- Be abreast with most current systems analysis methodology and algorithms and introduce them in-house when appropriate.
- Communicate analytical analysis verbally and in writing for scientific and technical audiences.
Qualifications
Basic:- BS, MS or PhD in Computational Biology/Computer Sciences/Biomathematics/Applied
- Mathematics/Statistics or related field with strong quantitative background, involving the analysis of large scale complex data such as next generation sequencing, microarray etc. with at least 10-12+ (BS), 8-10+ (MS) or 0-3+ (PhD) years of experience.
- Fluent in scientific scripting languages such as Matlab/R, Perl/Python. Very comfortable working in both linux and windows environment. Programing skills such as JavaScript/HTML/CSS is preferred.
- Proven track record in generating and applying novel analysis methods and/or novel mathematical modeling (such as authoring R/Python etc. analysis packages) is required.
- Hands on experience in genomics and genetic database mining, data analyses using existing and custom pipelines are required.
- Knowledge in relevant tools and databases and experience in developing custom computational analysis pipeline leveraging these resources is highly preferred
- Working experience with relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, PostgresSQL) is preferred.
- Builds strong relationships with peers and cross functionally with partners outside of the team to enable higher performance.
- Learns fast, grasps the “essence” and can change the course quickly where indicated.
- Raises the bar and is never satisfied with the status quo.
- Creates a learning environment, open to suggestions and experimentation for improvement.
