Senior Scientist - NGS Bioinformatics (Algorithm Development)

Live

What you will do

The Bioinformatician – NGS (Algorithm Development) will support Large Molecule
Discovery by designing, implementing, and optimizing computational methods for
analysis of complex next-generation sequencing datasets. This role will focus on
developing novel algorithms and analytical approaches for tasks such as
short-read and long-read variant calling, clustering, sequence classification,
and antibody design support.

Working closely with bioinformatics principal scientists,



software engineers,
data scientists, and laboratory scientists, this individual will help evaluate
and refine bioinformatic algorithms that turn sequencing data into actionable
biological insight. The role combines scientific problem-solving, statistical
analysis, and software development, and is well suited for someone who enjoys
advancing current computational approaches in a research setting.

In this role, your core responsibilities include:

* Develop and optimize computational methods for NGS analysis, including short-
and long-read variant calling, clustering/de-duplication, immune repertoire
analysis, assembly, and sequence classification.
* Design and benchmark algorithms to improve the accuracy, scalability, and
interpretability of sequencing workflows and biological analyses.
* Build reproducible analytical code and support method validation and
benchmarking.
* Collaborate with principal bioinformatics scientists
