Bioinformatics Scientist
About The Position
Dovetail Genomics is seeking an outstanding Bioinformatics Scientist to drive the development of new clinical applications for their proximity ligation technology. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in developing advanced NGS-based analytical methods, preferably in cancer genomics. While prior experience with proximity ligation (Hi-C) is not required, a quick learning ability is expected. This role involves working in a multi-disciplinary environment, collaborating with computational biology, molecular biology, commercial, and finance teams to develop impactful products. The position demands a high level of scientific accomplishment, innovative thinking, and an entrepreneurial spirit, requiring creativity, self-motivation, strategic thinking, action-orientation, flexibility, the ability to thrive in a fast-paced setting, manage multiple priorities, communicate effectively across all organizational levels, and contribute with minimal supervision.
Requirements
- PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, or equivalent.
- Experience developing and implementing novel bioinformatics algorithms and pipelines.
- Extensive experience processing, integrating, and visualizing large, multi-omics datasets (WGS, RNA-Seq, etc.).
- Proficiency with agentic AI for robust code development and scientific workflows.
- Expertise in Python programming and demonstrated ability to learn and adopt bioinformatics techniques and resources.
- Experience developing within a Linux-based cloud-computing environment (AWS preferred).
- Ability to quickly become an expert in new fields.
- Exceptional technical depth in epigenetics, cancer genomics, cancer biology, chromatin biology, oncology, or similar.
- Excellent written, presentation, and verbal communication skills.
Nice To Haves
- Postdoctoral and/or industry experience is a major plus.
- Prior experience with proximity ligation (Hi-C) is not required, but it is expected that it will be picked up quickly.
- Experience with the human pangenome and pangenome-based analysis is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Investigate and drive the development of novel analytical methods that leverage large Hi-C datasets to enable new products and services.
- Collaborate closely with multi-disciplinary R&D teams on assay development & benchmarking.
- Support production & commercial development teams with data analysis and interpretation.
- Regularly present your work both internally and externally, effectively communicating your methods and results to audiences with diverse scientific and non-scientific backgrounds.
- Contribute and author bioinformatics-focused white papers, posters, and publications.
Benefits
- comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- life and disability insurance
- matching 401k plan
- generous paid time off
