We are currently searching for a skilled professional to join a well-known client’s team as a Bioinformatics Scientist remotely in the US. The Bioinformatics Scientist candidate will have familiarity with computational biology tools and experience working with computational biologists to solve problems. Their work will have a direct impact on the organization and the larger clinical industry, making this an amazing career opportunity.

RESPONSIBILITIES
• Design, implement and/or deploy NGS data analysis workflows for data processing, visualization, integration and mining to support novel therapeutic target identification and disease biomarker discovery.
• Data Analysis: Implement methods for omics data analysis, and interpretation of genomic data sets (e.g., bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ATAC-Seq, spatial RNA-Seq)
• Data Visualization: Fluency in contemporary data visualization methods like R Shiny
• D3 Data Integration: Analyzing diverse datasets (multi-omics) to find relevant drug discovery targets and downstream effects relevant to immune disease
• Data Mining: Internal, collaborative, and public databases to assist in the characterization of immune disease
• Select and benchmark methods and tools, define and perform appropriate QC measures
• Apply and develop innovative analysis approaches when standard methods are not adequate
• Interpret and present analysis results to coworkers and collaborators
• Follow relevant scientific literature to ensure use of optimal methods and understand emerging practices across the field
• Demonstrates the ability to interpret the outcome of experiments, propose appropriate follow-up, and may propose new avenues of investigation
• Communicates own work effectively orally and in writing; contributes to writing protocols, procedures, and technical reports.
• Automate processing and results reporting and delivery.
• Reports and treats data with a high level of integrity and ethics
• Complies with applicable regulations; Maintains proper records in accordance with SOPs and policies
