The “Clinical Genomics Scientist” analyzes clinical genetics data, curates variants and genes, and summarizes findings for clinical reports. Our scientists assist laboratory directors and R&D with validation of cutting-edge technologies and software platforms.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Curation (50%): curation of variants, genes, and gene-disease correlation following ACMG guidelines
• Analysis (30%): analyzing clinical genomics data, selecting variants for curation/confirmation, variant nomenclature following HGVS guidelines
• Other (20%): may involve clinical report drafting, test validation, process refinement, presenting findings, monitoring test turnaround time

Qualifications/Experience

• Degree: PhD or MD in clinical medicine, genetics, molecular biology, or equivalent. Or strong candidates with a Master’s degree and relevant experience. Desired: MB(ASCP) certification.
• 2-4 years of experience in clinical genomics or related fields (including postdoctoral appointments)
• Thorough understanding of the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) variant curation guidelines.
• Knowledge of genomic variation and its correlation with human disease.
• Expertise in concepts of clinical medicine, genetics, genomics, or molecular biology.
• Experience in data quality assessment and communicating genetic details effectively.
• Excellence in reading/writing medical language.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook).
• Desired: experience in bioinformatics analysis, variant effect prediction algorithms, and scripting languages

Competencies:

Quality Assurance, Analytical, Problem Solving, Technical Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Oral and Written Communication, Teamwork, Organizational Support, Safety and Security, Dependability, Innovation, Adaptability.
