Chicago, United States BiomeSense Full time

BiomeSense is working on developing the first ever at-home sample collection instrument to enable daily tracking of gut microbiomes, and an AI platform to leverage these novel datasets for biomarker discovery. The candidate will: (1) develop bioinformatic methods for community analysis of multi’omic datasets, (2) analyze multi’omic datasets, and (3) participate in the design and development of a platform for data storage and analysis. This role will directly support a 2-year NSF SBIR Phase II project.  

 

Responsibilities 

  • Develop and validate a computational metatranscriptomics pipeline for human fecal samples. 
  • Extend the capabilities of our data analysis infrastructure to support multi’omic datasets. 
  • Support the analysis and interpretation of experiments intended to validate microbial RNA extraction and storage protocols. 
  • Coordinate with a cross-functional team of engineers to ensure that validated protocols are automatable and compatible with BiomeSense sample collection technology. 

 

Preferred Skills and Competencies: 

  • Experience with univariate and multivariate statistics for hypothesis testing. 
  • Experience developing machine learning pipelines with ‘omic data.
