Staff Bioinformatics Scientist -- Oncology/MRD Algorithm DevelopmentThe RoleThe Staff Bioinformatics Scientist will drive the development of algorithms for detecting minimal residual disease in ctDNA samples using signals from small variant calling, copy number calling, fragmentomics, and methylation. This role will also assist in improving algorithms for therapy selection across a range of variant types and biomarkers.
Responsibilities:- Prototype novel NGS algorithms for clinical oncology use cases such as MRD
- Assess and improve existing secondary analysis algorithms for variant and biomarker detection
- In collaboration with external and internal experimental teams, design and analyze experiments to support existing or new Illumina oncology assays.
- Provide technical guidance to internal and external collaborators.
- Participate in cross functional assay and algorithm R&D teams with minimal oversight.
- Effectively communicate plans and results across functions
Requirements:- PhD in bioinformatics, computation biology, statistics, math or related field with 3+ years industry experience
- Fluency in at least two of statistics, common bioinformatics methods NGS analysis, and oncology.
- Proven track-record with developing bioinformatics NGS algorithms beyond leveraging already existing tools.
- Fluency in programming languages such as Python. Experience with C++ is desired
- Good communication skills to contribute to cross functional project teams and work with stakeholders.
