  • Senior Software Engineer / Data Scientist

    PacBio's R&D team performs hundreds of experiments a month, comparing and contrasting different chemistry and software configurations in order to optimize our DNA sequencing platform. To help the scientists easily identify the differences between experimental conditions, we've built a web portal that can provide quick summary statistics and plots of a large swath of features of interest.

    We need help to build out the analysis backend component of this tool, so we are looking for a strong R programmer with general software engineering experience and strong statistical acumen.

    PacBio is a very exciting place for people with strong scientific curiosity!

    Responsibilities:
    -Maintaining, and innovating on, our in-house R APIs to enable scientists to easily analyze experiments.
    -Writing R APIs to wrap existing C++ APIs.
    -Helping to design new experiments and analyze results.


    Position Requirements:

    -Substantial previous experience with R is a must – including developing R APIs and writing packages, and interfacing with native code.
    -Additional software engineering experience in a language like Java, C, C++ or Python is a must; we are looking for experience with designing APIs and systems.
    -Master’s degree or PhD in a quantitative field (physics, statistics, engineering, quantitative biology, computer science, etc.) is preferred.
    -Candidate must have in-depth experience in designing and analyzing experimental data in a rigorous way.
    -Preference shown to candidates with previous bioinformatics experience.

    All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

    Application Instructions:

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
