Responsibilities

The Bioinformatician / Computational Biologist will analyze and mine genome-wide next-generation sequencing datasets, including single-cell and bulk RNA-seq data, ATAC-seq data, and collaborate closely with bioinformaticians and bench scientists to deliver scientific results and data visualizations. They will monitor and interpret changes in employment legislation across North America and develop HR policies to ensure compliance. They will conduct audits, deliver training, and advise management on HR-related risk mitigation strategies. The role involves running and maintaining automated bioinformatics pipelines, including QC assessments, differential expression, and data visualization components. They will collaborate broadly with biologists to identify ways to leverage computational data towards new hypotheses and scientific directions, as well as contribute to team code bases, using best practices for documentation and version control. The position requires functionally interacting with the Conception computational infrastructure, and translating computational findings into testable hypotheses and experimental designs.
