[Remote] Computational Scientist

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Aequor is seeking a Computational Scientist for a 12-month contract role with possible extension. The position focuses on large-scale genetic and genomic data analysis, including association studies, molecular assay data, multimodal analyses, and computational workflows using R, Python, shell scripting, Git, and high-performance computing.

Skills

• Extensive experience in large-scale genetic/genomic data analysis including one or more of the following areas of expertise:
• Understanding of principles of genetic epidemiology
• Association analysis with array- and sequence-based genetic data (GWAS - genome-wide association studies) on human data
• Analysis of sequence-based molecular assay data (eg RNA-Seq) including differential expression methods, single-cell sequencing data (eg scRNA-Seq, scATAC-Seq) and/or proteomic data
• Integration of genetic and molecular data for multimodal analyses
• PhD (or Masters with significant experience) in Statistical Genetics, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Genetic Epidemiology, or a related field
• Fluent in R, Python, and shell scripting. Some familiarity with C++ will be a plus
• Experience working with git and high performance computing (e.g. the SLURM scheduling manager)
• Curiosity and desire to learn more about human genetics, bioinformatics, and biology
• Ability to produce high-quality analysis results with minimal supervision. This includes meeting key deadlines and making sensible independent decisions
• Good communication skills and experience working as part of a team

Benefits

• Remote work arrangement
