You will be part of a culture fueled by innovation, collaboration, and openness.

To be successful as a Staff Bioinformatics Scientist, you will need a background in bioinformatics with a particular focus on algorithm development, biomarkers and oncology. Previous experience with at least two of statistics, common bioinformatics methods, next generation sequencing analysis, and oncology will be key to your success. The position requires accommodation to meeting times to overlap with Pacific time zone hours.

The Role

The Staff Bioinformatics Scientist will drive the development of secondary analysis algorithms for variant and biomarker detection to support treatment decisions based on the cancer's molecular profile. This role will also involve designing R&D studies, with external collaborators, to demonstrate the clinical utility of NGS in oncology treatment and prototyping software implementations.

Responsibilities:
  • Assess and improve existing secondary analysis algorithms for variant and biomarker detection
  • Prototype novel secondary analysis algorithms
  • In collaboration with external and internal experimental teams, design and analyze experiments to support existing or new Illumina oncology assays.
  • Provide technical guidance to internal and external collaborators.
  • Participate in cross functional assay and algorithm R&D teams with minimal oversight.
  • Effectively communicate plans and results across functions
All listed tasks and responsibilities are deemed as essential functions to this position; however, business conditions may require reasonable accommodations for additional tasks and responsibilities.

Requirements:
  • PhD in bioinformatics, computation biology, statistics, math or related field with 3 years industry experience
  • Fluency in at least two of statistics, common bioinformatics methods NGS analysis, and oncology.
  • Experience with developing bioinformatics NGS algorithms and methodology.
  • Fluency in programming languages such as Python. Experience with C is desired
  • Good communication skills to contribute to cross functional project teams and work with stakeholders.
All listed requirements are deemed as essential functions to this position; however, business conditions may require reasonable accommodations for additional tasks and responsibilities.
