Job Description:
We are looking for an exceptional bioinformatics scientist with expertise in immuno-oncology research to apply state of the art genomics/genetics analytical approaches to help with understanding of disease mechanism, genetic variants, biological pathways, and predictive biomarkers with the ultimate goal of developing therapies. You will have both scientific and technical skills in oncogenomics to identify cancer neoantigens that can be experimentally validated. You will be responsible for leading the development of a robust analytical pipeline for neoantigen prediction, in addition to conducting correlative clinical studies and interpreting complex biological results for data generated from qRT-PCR, microarray and DNA/RNA sequencing projects. Requirements: Essential Requirements: -Sr Scientist: Minimum of 8 years relevant experience post degree. -Principal Scientist: Minimum of 10 years relevant experience post degree. For both roles: -PhD in biological sciences, computational biology, bioinformatics, or relevant field. -Minimum of 5 years proficiency with R/Splus and at least one additional programming language. -Experience analyzing biomarkers and developing scientific hypotheses based on disease pathogenesis and drug mechanism of action (MOA) in the areas of oncology. -Experience working with cancer databases (e.g. TCGA, ICGC), conventional NGS tools, and MHC/peptide algorithms (e.g. NetMHCpan). -Experience presenting results at scientific conferences. -Strong oral and written skills. Desirable Requirements: -Ability to interact in a cross-functional environment. -Capable of multitasking and working effectively with scientists from translational oncology and respiratory, inflammation and autoimmune (RIA). -Capable of working on multiple simultaneous projects.
