Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated bioinformatics scientist with specific expertise in the analysis of single-cell omics data to join the Computational Biology group within Research at client and to contribute to the development of innovative antibody-based therapies for treating cancer.

Responsibilitie s

This position will work within the Computational Biology team and collaborate with scientists across the Research and Translational Sciences organizations to lead, develop and advance our single-cell omics profiling capabilities, including sc-RNAseq, -ATACseq, and -CITEseq, and to also help advance other emerging high resolution expression profiling modalities such as spatial omics (e.g., GeoMx) and spectral flow cytometry. Specific responsibilities will include the following.

• Develop, maintain and execute pipelines for processing high-dimensional data, including single-cell and spatial-omics, flow cytometry and imaging modalities.

• Perform QC and downstream analyses from same

• Perform benchmarking of competing algorithms and statistical models to inform best practices

• Collaborate with scientists on experimental design for single-cell experiments

• Aid in the construction of atlases containing high-value public single-cell omics datasets

Requirements

• PhD in bioinformatics, biology, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or other related discipline, and 2+ years bioinformatics-related industry or post-doctoral experience.

• Extensive experience running single-cell omics (sc-RNAseq -ATACseq, -CITEseq, etc.) processing pipelines and performing QC and downstream analyses using industry-standard platforms such as Cell Ranger and Seurat.

• Experience processing, analyzing, and interpreting single-cell omics data.

• Experience integrating multi-modal single-cell experiments.

• Experience accessing, using, and integrating public omics data, including datasets relevant to the biology and treatment of cancer, such as TCGA, GTEx, and GDSC.

• Strong expertise in R or python.

• Knowledge of classical and modern statistical methods, and proficiency implementing and applying those methods in the R or python environments.

• Familiarity with standard coding best practices and source code control.

• Excellent listening, time management, organizational and interpersonal skills

• Outstanding communication skills, including the ability to illustrate problems and generate solutions working with bench researchers.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experience with single-cell or spatial atlas-level dataset generation and integration

• Experience analyzing spatial omics, flow cytometry, imaging/microscopy, or other high-content biological data

• Experience utilizing cloud-based compute infrastructure

• Experience with machine learning and/or AI methods (SVM, neural nets, autoencoders), and frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch)
