Job Description:
Hexagon Lavish currently has a position open for an experienced Computational Biologist. The candidate for this position will possess years of experience developing computational tools and perform data analysis for the PIR™ (Premier Information Retrieval) project which will be software designed for allergen detection, distinction, classification and analysis. The position includes computational and statistical analysis of sequencing studies, technical and logistical collaboration with international consortia, utilize statistical methods development and analysis of allergies sequence data and the integration of genetic variations and gene expression data into pathway network analysis. Qualifications: -Integrating data across formats and sources by robust synchronization with existing datasets and databases. -Under general direction, developing innovative analytical methods to enable collaborators to interpret and design follow-up research. -Providing support to chemists and biological researchers to specify, develop, and implement data-analyses. -Lead and contribute to manuscript preparation as well as internal and external project-team reports. -Actively participating in project team and group meetings. -Familiarity with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data including RNA, DNA, miRNA, methylation, microbiome, and ChiPSeq. Essential Job Functions: -Ph.D. in computer science, mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, or other quantitative discipline required. -3+ years experience, with biological datasets and experience with bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning, and statistics. -Relevant experience or formal training in computational biology and statistics. -Must have demonstrable proficiency with several of the following technologies: Perl, Python, Java, Matlab, R, C, C++, Unix. -Familiarity with next-generation sequence data analysis tools, ideally for PIR™; in particular, experience with human or mammalian genome sequence data is a plus. -Familiarity with a range of sequence alignment tools. -Thorough understanding of statistics preferred. -Application of modeling and software expertise for analysis of big data on complex R&D efforts. -Conduct feasibility studies to provide technical assessment of proposed research. -Preparation of briefing materials, research announcements, and technical reports. -Technical monitoring of R&D efforts for adherence to statement of work (SOW) tasks, program milestones, and deliverables. -Participation in program reviews/site visits/field tests and coordination of scientific workshops as required -Summarize and communicate the intellectual content of scientific and technological information to both scientific and non-scientific audiences. -Interact with stakeholders from multiple disciplines including engineering, biology, neuroscience, clinical, regulatory and policy teams. -Demonstrable mastery of high-performance computing of the low-level, high-performance development skills needed to perform research on distributed, highly scalable architectures conducive to the evolving nature of PIR. Other Essential Job Functions: -Sound decision-maker. -Establish effectiveness as a mentor. -Be contributory to the scientific endeavors of the company. Other Skills/Abilities: -Excellent communication skills, both verbally and in written form. -Fluent in English. -Strong interpersonal skills. -Must demonstrate a high degree of integrity, trustworthiness, respect for others and the ability to deal appropriately with confidential and sensitive information. -Must demonstrate an understanding and acceptance of Hexagon Lavish’s mission, vision and values.
