The NexGen Sequencing Informatics group is looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong computer science background who is excited by the computational challenges of high-throughput genomic sequencing. With the rapidly advancing and improving next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, there is an ever-increasing data volume that stresses the computational resources used to process and analyze this data.
In this group, all of our data processing and analysis is done in the context of a UNIX environment, using vendor software and open source tools.
Responsibilities include all aspects of NexGen sequence analysis; this consists of the actual sequencing instruments, data transfer pipelines, analysis pipelines and downstream analysis.
The HGSC work environment is fast paced, high energy, with a strong team spirit and dedication to delivering the world-class scientific results with tight schedules and modest budgets. We are always looking for new ideas, methodologies and technologies that help us deal with the interesting problems we face on a daily basis.
