Scientist, Bioinformatics
We're hiring Bioinformatics Scientists with strong backgrounds in computational biology and data science. A deep understanding of both biology and machine learning is required. The position's goals are varied, but include using personalized biomarker discovery and integrative-omics to diagnose "hard-to-diagnose" diseases.
With ICR, you'll get to:
- Conduct complex bioinformatics analyses on large genomics, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic datasets from biofluids and cell lines
- Engage in multi-omic integration under a personalized medicine paradigm
- Discover personalized biomarkers to aid in unraveling complex and obscure phenotypes
- Design and build streamlined pipelines and algorithms for database querying and multiple other applications to support complex dataset analyses
Please apply if you have:
- An MS or PhD in a Biomedical Science and extensive experience with computational biology, bioinformatics and data science
- Experience incorporating AI tools into bioinformatics workflows
- Expertise in multi-omics integration, systems biology, network medicine, precision and personalized medicine
- Machine learning skills (eg. LR, SVM, RF, XGBoost) and extensive experience with: Bayesian/probabilistic modeling, network-based sample similarity algorithms and factorization methods, data cleaning, such as batch effect removal and imputation, and data transformation and visualization
- A solid statistical foundation
- Expertise programming machine learning and statistical pipelines, preferably in Python
- Even if you don't meet all of these criteria, please apply anyway
Ideally, you'll also have:
- Extensive working knowledge of various AI/machine-learning algorithms and their implementation in biological dataset analysis
- A solid understanding of and appreciation for Bayesian statistics and methods
- Personal interest in using statistics to evaluate disease models and aging biology
And you'll need:
- Ability to work in the United States without sponsorship
- A can-do attitude and a friendly, easygoing personality
