Bioinformatics Research Associate II

Immediate need for a talented Bioinformatics Research Associate II . This is a 12 months contract opportunity with long-term potential and is located in Waltham, MA (Onsite). Please review the job description below and contact me ASAP if you are interested.

Job ID:26-08726

Pay Range: $40 - $50/hour.  Employee benefits include, but are not limited to, health insurance (medical, dental, vision), 401(k) plan, and paid sick leave (depending on work location).

Key Responsibilities:

• Manager Notes:
• DIL: bio to support next-gen sequencing group. Some are in the lab, some are writing codes and analytical pipelines, working with Client coding and development systems, collaborating with the lab team, lots of coding, working with quality teams to ensure meeting metrics.
• Should have experience with at least one or two of the following. e.g., FastQC, Bowtie2, SAMtools, NCBI BLAST , Nextflow, etc.). NGS pipeline development.
• 9-5 some wiggle room if they need to come in earlier leave earlier, Onsite but if they need a day or two here and there they can request a day to work remote A strong candidate would have Coding experience, papers published on coding, need next gen sequencing analysis, gene therapy group so if they have some exp in that or bio that would be a great advantage.
• Relevant experience is more important than a degree for the role.
• Does not want to see anyone with zero coding experience. No mention of the tools list would be a hard pass.
• Support computational needs for the development and validation of NGS-based assays.
• Work closely with a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers to implement genomic analytical solutions for programs spanning precandidate selection through late phase clinical development.
• Develop, execute, and maintain NGS analysis pipelines for execution in cloud-based computational environments.
• Keep records of development work and testing in a GxP environment utilizing electronic notebook solutions.
• Represent the group at internal meetings.

Key Requirements and Technology Experience:

• Key Skills;Should have experience with at least one or two of the following. e.g., FastQC, Bowtie2, SAMtools, NCBI BLAST , Nextflow, etc.)
• Minimum of 1 year of experience with NGS, spanning knowledge and hands-on dry-lab experience.
• Scripting experience in coding languages (e.g., bash, awk, Python, R, etc.).
• A strong candidate would have Coding experience, papers published on coding, need next-gen sequencing analysis, and gene therapy.
• Degree in a relevant computer science discipline with a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
• Minimum of 1 year experience with NGS, spanning knowledge and hands-on dry-lab experience.
• Expertise in bioinformatics with a working understanding of genomic analysis solutions (e.g., FastQC, Bowtie2, SAMtools, NCBI BLAST , Nextflow, etc.).
• Scripting experience in coding languages (e.g., bash, awk, Python, R, etc.).
• Understanding of NGS platforms, specifically those utilizing the synthesis by sequencing technique (i.e., Illumina platforms).
• Ability to work independently and adapt under aggressive and/or changing timelines.
• Familiarity with the software development lifecycle (e.g., Git).
• Automated unit testing for test-driven design (TDD).
• Familiarity with basic molecular biology techniques (e.g., ligation, PCR, and qPCR) as well as nucleic acid extraction and analysis techniques (e.g., Nanodrop, DNA fragment analyzers, ddPCR, etc.).
• Knowledge of and experience with other sequencing platforms (i.e., SMRT sequencing).
• Prior experience in leading the internalization of custom NGS analysis pipelines is highly preferred.
• Wet-lab method development experience to support NGS workflows.
