Rancho Biosciences is seeking a senior-level bioinformatics scientist to provide analytical services in a variety of client-facing tasks. This role will be focused on leading and expanding our impact in analysis of inherited and somatic sequence variation. This includes both individual contributions to computational biology projects as well as technical leadership on larger projects. Additional responsibilities include meeting with new clients to generate analysis plans, mentoring junior bioinformatics scientists to develop additional skills, and establishing best practice workflows.
Work from home while supporting high impact pharmaceutical, academic and institutional science programs. This fast-paced environment provides ongoing opportunities to work with cutting edge data and learn new technologies and tools.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of collaborative and independent contributions to human genomic and clinical data projects. A broad working knowledge of modern software tools and best practice methods is also critical. This position is a unique opportunity for an individual to make a real impact on human health alongside our team of curators, computational biologists and data scientists.
Requirements
- PhD + Postdoc in Bioinformatics, Biology, or related field with 5+ years pharmaceutical industry experience
- Hands-on experience with genomic NGS data (WES, WGS) and demonstrated expertise in a relevant topic (somatic variant analysis, GWAS, eQTL analysis are in highest demand)
- Proficiency in best practice programming with relevant language (Python, R, and/or Shell scripting).
- Exposure to a broad range of public data sources (UKBB, COSMIC, dbSNP, 1000 Genomes, et cetera)
- Driven to learn new analysis methodologies and tools
Desired Experience
- Experience working in a team of multidisciplinary scientists, coordinating work across various roles and developing analysis and engineering code products.
- Experience with writing reports and presenting results to clients
