• Create data visualizations which highlight the value of our technologies for our biopharma partners and assist in the development of interactive reports
• Collaborate cross-functionally with scientists and commercial team members
• Track projects, prepare technical reports, and communicate results to internal stakeholders and our external partners
• Documentation of data analysis procedures and results
  

Requirements

• Masters or Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Biology, or related discipline
• Experience performing data analysis of NGS data (e.g. RNA-seq). Previous experience with immunoprecipitation-based methods (CLIP-seq, ChIP-seq, or similar) a plus
• Familiarity with standard bioinformatic software tools for high-throughput sequencing data processing (e.g. STAR, bowtie, samtools, bedtools, or related software)
• Proficiency in Python and/or R
• Experience using cloud computing and cloud storage (AWS EC2, S3)
• Understanding of software versioning and best practices (GitHub)
• Experience with workflow managers for reproducible analyses (Snakemake preferred)
