Compendia Bioscience was founded in 2006 with the understanding that managing the daily flood of new biological data and making it interpretable by scientists and physicians holds the key to the fight against cancer.
We are currently looking for a Bioinformatics Engineer – NGS Specialist to join our team.
Next generation sequencing is having a major impact on cancer research today. And in the future, it will likely directly impact cancer patient care. We are looking for a next generation sequencing data processing expert to join our team. Our ideal candidate is highly motivated, skilled, and dedicated. Your work will likely lead to important new discoveries waiting for us in this unprecedented data, and the delivery of these results to our customers may impact cancer patient care in important and meaningful ways.
Responsibilities include:
• Be part of a talented team of scientists and bioinformatics experts to help develop the infrastructure to process the growing number of NGS cancer samples available today
• Design, prototype, test, and implement data pipelines that execute best-practice NGS data processing techniques, with an early emphasis on somatic gene mutations and gene fusions from Illumina and SOLiD, DNASeq and RNASeq, data
• Collaborate with vendors to architect large-scale, cloud-based architectures capable of processing thousands of paired tumor-normal DNASeq exome samples, and tumor RNASeq samples, comprising hundreds of terabytes of raw data.
• Create and implement a plan to process batches of patient samples using a standard job scheduling / grid engine package on the deployed cluster
• Participate in the development of quality control and validation strategies, leading to the continual improvement of our processing pipelines and methods
• Written and verbal presentation of scientific data results and methods
Qualifications include:
• Proven understanding of next generation sequencing technologies and data processing
• Strong computational skills, particularly in large-scale data management, parallel processing architectures, Linux system administration, and cloud-based computing is desired
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• Previous bioinformatics and scientific programming experience necessary; experience with Spotfire, and Pipeline Pilot a plus.
• Publications are highly valued.
Our company is in Ann Arbor, MI. To submit your cover letter and resume, please go to our website at www.compendiabio.com
