Field Bioinformatics Scientist

Support researchers across a region in applying microarray and next-generation sequencing methods to their work. You'll combine bioinformatics analysis and scientific consultation with customer training, technical presentations, and close collaboration with commercial and technical colleagues.

• Discuss research goals with customers and recommend suitable analysis approaches and workflows.
• Troubleshoot data quality, analysis, and application issues involving genomic datasets.
• Explain scientific and technical findings through consultations, presentations, demonstrations, and training.
• Work with commercial and cross-functional teams to support technical evaluations, implementation, and continued use.
• Identify customer needs and emerging research trends that may inform future opportunities.

• Master's degree or higher in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, genetics, biostatistics, or a related field.
• At least two years of hands-on bioinformatics experience with genomic or other large biological datasets.
• Practical experience with microarray genotyping and genome-wide association study workflows, including quality control, analysis, and interpretation.
• Proficiency in Python and/or R, and working knowledge of Linux or Unix command-line environments.
• Solid grounding in genomics, genetics, and statistics, with strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Clear English communication and presentation skills, and the ability to work independently with customers and cross-functional teams.

• Experience analyzing next-generation sequencing data, especially in oncology, reproductive health, or related fields.
• Familiarity with microarray analysis platforms or tools such as Chromosome Analysis Suite, Transcriptome Analysis Console, or Axiom.
