If you're open to new challenges and excited to contribute to cutting-edge research in the pharmaceutical industry, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain bioinformatics pipelines for the analysis of omics datasets (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.).
• Process, analyze, and interpret high-throughput biological data.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including biologists, data scientists, and IT specialists.
• Integrate diverse datasets to support biomarker discovery, target identification, and drug development.
• Ensure quality control, reproducibility, and documentation of analyses.
• Present complex data and insights in a clear and actionable format to scientific and non-scientific stakeholders.

Requirements:

• Master's or PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or a related field.
• Proven experience in bioinformatics within a pharmaceutical, biotech, or research setting.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or Bash.
• Familiarity with public biological databases (e.g., NCBI, Ensembl) and tools (e.g., Bioconductor, Galaxy).
• Strong understanding of molecular biology, statistics, and data visualization.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in interdisciplinary team.

At Amaris, we strive to provide our candidates with the best possible recruitment experience. We like to get to know our candidates, challenge them, and be able to give them proper feedback as quickly as possible. Here's what our recruitment process looks like:

Brief Call: Our process typically begins with a brief virtual/phone conversation to get to know you! The objective? Learn about you, understand your motivations, and make sure we have the right job for you!

Interviews (the average number of interviews is 3 - the number may vary depending on the level of seniority required for the position). During the interviews, you will meet people from our team: your line manager of course, but also other people related to your future role. We will talk in depth about you, your experience, and skills, but also about the position and what will be expected of you. Of course, you will also get to know Amaris: our culture, our roots, our teams, and your career opportunities!

Case study: Depending on the position, we may ask you to take a test. This could be a role play, a technical assessment, a problem-solving scenario, etc.

As you know, every person is different and so is every role in a company. That is why we have to adapt accordingly, and the process may differ slightly at times. However, please know that we always put ourselves in the candidate's shoes to ensure they have the best possible experience.
We look forward to meeting you!
