Cofactor Genomics is looking for a Computational Scientist to join our Analysis team full-time.
Cofactor Genomics is a growing and rapidly evolving company seeking talented individuals to help support our next-generation sequencing operations. A privately held biotechnology company based in St. Louis, Cofactor employs experimental design, next-generation sequencing, and proprietary analysis technology and pipelines to accelerate its partners' biological research, discovery and product development in a number of scientific areas worldwide.
We're looking for someone who learns quickly and is willing to take on challenges even if they're outside their comfort zone. Someone who loves building new features, but cares enough about their code to get the details right. You may be the type of person who reads computer manuals in bed.
This position has three main responsibilities:
1. Performing and delivering analyses of RNA-seq, de novo assembly, SNP, and similar projects.
2. Developing new software tools and pipelines (along with tests and documentation) for performing analysis.
3. Meeting with our clients to understand their needs and help them interpret the results of their analyses.
Cofactor mostly programs in Modern Perl, but experience with similar languages like Python or Ruby can assist in picking up the language. For speed work, we use C/C++ or Java and write parallel or threaded code. Large-scale dataset, SQL, HTML, user interface, design and related skills are a plus.
It is not essential to have a background in bioinformatics and computational biology, but you'll need to be able to apply your software engineering skills to those fields. Experience takes a precedence to educational background, but we're looking for a minimum of a bachelor's degree up to a master's degree with 5 years experience.
As an early hire, it is important that you mesh with Cofactor's culture of commitment, creativity, interdisciplinary thinking, assertiveness and teamwork. You will be expected to contribute to discussions on areas across the company.
If you've read this far and are interested in the role, please send a cover letter and CV to [email protected]. Also, please point us to work you've already done online (website, Github repository, etc.). We encourage you to apply early. We intend to hire the first developer that is a good fit. Cofactor Genomics is an equal opportunity employer.
