Senior Bioinformatics Scientist

Bioinformatics Scientist - III

Location: 3050 Science Park Road, San Diego, CA Rate: $75-85/HR

Education:

• Minimum qualification: Master's degree with 4+ years of experience in computational biology, bioinformatics or related fields.

• Advance degree- PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, or related fields.

Required experience and skills:

• Experience in biotech or pharmaceutical industries is a plus.

• Advanced skills in a high-level programming language such as R or Python for data analysis and visualization.

• Expertise in downstream analysis for common NGS data types, such as WGS/WES/panel-seq, bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNAseq and spatial transcriptomics (experience in building NGS pipelines is not required but is a plus).

• Basic understanding of disease biology and molecular/cellular mechanisms in immunology.

• Expertise in network and systems biology is required.

• Expertise in contemporary machine-learning/AI methods is a plus.

Personality: Are you a computational biologist with a passion for unraveling the complexities of the immune system?

• If you have a strong foundation in bioinformatics, 'omics analysis, network biology, and systems biology, along with a deep understanding of molecular and cellular immunology, we'd love to hear from you.

• Your work will be instrumental in driving precision medicine and drug development by dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying immune-mediated diseases.

• We welcome applications from individuals with a track record of innovative translational research in immunology, regardless of their current setting (clinical, academic, or industrial).

Note: • 100% onsite role. • Remote working candidates will not be considered. • Positions available: 2

Responsibilities:

We are looking for a contractor with extensive experience in computational biology and join our immunology analytics team in Translational Genome Analytics, San Diego.

• Use computational methods to identify molecular subtypes with unmet need in immune mediated diseases.

• Conduct in-depth analyses to uncover the key biological functions and disease mechanisms driving disease subtypes.

• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to pinpoint potential therapeutic targets.

• Contribute to accurately represent key disease states in model systems and other validation scenarios.

• Work closely with discovery immunology teams in the iterative process of validation of therapeutic candidates and/or mechanistic hypotheses.

• Summarize your findings and report conclusions to Client stakeholders.

MUST HAVE:

• Working closely with collaborator in San Diego. • Quick discussion onsite in real time. • Work environment is face to face, so need person onsite. • Collaborating with different groups onsite is must.
