The Position Genentech seeks a motivated Bioinformatics scientist or Computational Biologist to collaborate in the development of novel therapeutics and biomarkers to be used in cellular reprogramming and regeneration, for the treatment of immunological and ocular diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, age-related macular degeneration, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The successful candidate will work in a collaborative environment, teaming with discovery scientists to design experiments, analyze results, and prototype bioinformatics solutions to answer underlying biological questions. Who you are: You have a PhD or Postdoctoral training, preferably in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Human Genetics, Biostatistics, or similar fields. First author publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. You have expertise in molecular and cellular biology, preferably in the area of reprogramming or regeneration. You have experience working with large scale genomic data (e.g. RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ATAC-seq, CRISPR screens, etc.). You are comfortable writing code in languages such as R, or, Python, MATLAB, etc. Familiarity with UNIX and high-performance computing environments. You are intensely curious about the biology of disease and eager to contribute to scientific efforts focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying disease biology. As a scientist you will: Work as the bioinformatics lead on an interdisciplinary team that contributes to drug and biomarker development. Use creative informatics approaches and datasets to bring insights to biological problems. Work closely with bench scientists to develop those insights and ideas experimentally. Present complex results, both verbally and in writing, to management, bioinformatics, and non-bioinformatics audiences. Support and drive publications in scientific, technical or medical journals.
