• Have experience using R or Python programming languages for computational biology research
• Have experience analyzing high throughput sequencing data and single cell RNA-seq data
• Have familiarity with processing and analyzing data within a cloud or HPC computing environment
• Have a basic understanding of cancer biology, genomics, or related relevant biological fields
• Demonstrate the ability to conduct reproducible computational biology research, as evidenced by Github repositories and/or scientific publications
• Possess strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex insights effectively
• Be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future visa sponsorship

Responsibilities

• Analyze large-scale single cell multiomics datasets (CITE-seq) to generate insights into disease mechanisms
• Work on machine learning and statistical approaches to support biomarker discovery and precision medicine initiatives
• Develop and optimize bioinformatics workflows and pipelines for high-throughput data processing, quality control, and analysis
• Develop novel visualizations to support interactive exploration of high dimensional single cell multiomics datasets
• Collaborate with scientists, clinicians, and data scientists to design and execute data-driven research projects
• Present findings through technical reports, visualizations, and presentations to cross-functional teams

Benefits

• Compensation: $34-$38 per hour
• Remote or Hybrid work option
