• Hands-on experience analyzing transcriptomics and NGS data.
• Expertise in R programming and data analysis.
• Strong proficiency in feature reduction techniques and visualization (e.g., U-MAP), supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, and model performance evaluation.
• Hands-on experience with cloud computing architecture (AWS preferred).
• Strong problem-solving skills and intellectual curiosity, with a desire to learn new disease biology and clinical concepts.
• Excellent communication skills, with experience presenting or discussing scientific results in collaborative settings.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Significant career opportunities
• Inclusive workforce
