Job Description:
We’re looking for talented and organized team players to join our fast-paced startup as a Bioinformatician. We are looking for an eager and enthusiastic person who can dive into multiple tasks and take on many responsibilities. Specifically, we are looking for a bioinformatics scientist ready to develop, maintain, and evolve novel next generation sequence analysis software and pipelines with a focus on run assessment, data quality, knowledge integration, data interpretation, hypothesis generation and testing, as well as common sequence alignment algorithms/tools and NGS applications. Demonstrable experience using data mining and analysis tools to identify dominant patterns in next generation sequence datasets to diagnose instrument performance. If these challenges seem exciting and you fit the requirement outlined below - please apply! Responsibilities:
Additional Info:
GenapSys, Inc. is enabling a new era of genomic testing and a new paradigm of how we engage the molecular world. We are developing a cost-disruptive, easy-to-use DNA sequencing device based on simple, label-free proprietary GENIUS™ technology, which delivers significant improvement in cost and speed. These innovations will enable a new era of discovery through the widespread integration of genomic and other molecular data for research and applications. Our goal is simple: Impact. We believe that the tool to read the code of DNA is the most powerful device of the 21st century, and through enabling such powerful tools to be harnessed by the many, we can collectively change the world for the better. Since spinning out of Stanford in 2010, GenapSys has built a stellar team and set up headquarters in Redwood City, CA. The company is backed by top institutional and private investors, and has raised $50M since inception.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
