The CSCB research groups have diverse programmes in both basic cancer biology and clinical-translational studies, with a special emphasis on cancers that affect the Asian community in general.
- Develop, deploy and maintain bioinformatics workflows to process large volumes of heterogenous genomics data (e.g. exome/genome/transcriptome sequencing etc).
- Analyse multi-omics data to obtain insights on the human cancer landscape at various levels ranging from bulk tumors down to tumor associated promoters and identification of transcription factor binding sites.
- Assist in developing machine learning models to 1) predict risk of cancer development and cancer progression and 2) provide personalized, molecularly-driven therapeutic recommendations.
- Provide bioinformatics support to researchers within the group and external collaborators.
- Ensure secure storage of the generated genomics data.

**Job Requirements**:

- PhD Degree in Computer Science/ Biology related field (e.g. Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, Computational Biology, Genetics, etc.).
- Experience with workflow managers such as Nextflow, Snakemake, Cromwell/WDL and their associated languages.
- Experience with next generation sequencing data analysis (e.g. ChIP-Seq, RNA-seq etc.), especially for human cancers.
- Possesses strong programming skills, especially in Python, CHANCE, MACS2, ROSE and R.
- Experience with tools such as RStudio and Jupyter will be valuable.
- A track record of contributing to peer-reviewed publications in relevant areas will be advantageous.
