- Identify creative solutions to problems and actively participate in improving methods from the lab, through analysis to the final application.
- Present projects and results to the team, customers, and the wider scientific community.
About You:
- Ph.D. in computational biology, computer science, or related discipline; or a Master's with 4+ years professional experience with genomic technology.
- Experience with single-cell sequencing technology and analysis methods.
- Experience analyzing complex sequencing datasets, including gene expression or epigenetics.
- A track record of designing and implementing novel algorithms and analysis workflows.
- Experience developing software, both in scripting and compiled languages.
- Background in statistical and machine-learning methods for large datasets.
- Demonstrated ability to become an expert in new fields and work with interdisciplinary teams.
- Excellent verbal/written communication and interpersonal skills, with scientists and nonscientists.
Nice to have:
- Experience with professional software development methods.
- Experience working with cloud computing environments.
- Experience developing novel sequencing-based technologies in an interdisciplinary team.
