Job Description
Our client, a leading bioscience research institute, is seeking a highly skilled Senior Bioinformatician for a fully remote position. This role is central to advancing our understanding of complex biological systems through cutting-edge computational analysis. You will be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of robust bioinformatics pipelines for the analysis of large-scale genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data. Your work will involve collaborating closely with biologists, geneticists, and other researchers to interpret complex datasets, identify biological patterns, and generate testable hypotheses. We are looking for an individual with a deep expertise in computational biology, algorithm development, and statistical analysis of biological data. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative field, with a minimum of 6 years of relevant post-doctoral or industry experience. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, and Perl, along with experience in using high-performance computing (HPC) environments and cloud computing platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), is essential. Experience with various sequencing technologies (e.g., next-generation sequencing - NGS) and common bioinformatics tools and databases is also required. Strong communication and collaborative skills are paramount for effective interaction with a geographically distributed research team. If you are passionate about leveraging computational power to unlock biological discoveries and thrive in a remote, research-intensive environment, we encourage you to apply.
