  • Support data management and organization across multiple internal and external datasets.
  • Collaborate closely with experimental and computational scientists to translate raw data into interpretable biological results.
  • Implement and optimize pipelines in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP) for scalable data processing.
  • Maintain codebases, perform quality control on data outputs, and ensure reproducibility and traceability of analyses.
  • Generate clear reports, visualizations, and summaries to communicate results across teams.

Qualification and Education Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience working with biological or single-cell datasets.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or R for data analysis and visualization.
  • Familiarity with standard genomics tools and file formats (FASTQ, BAM, HDF5, AnnData, etc.).
  • Experience using and maintaining analysis pipelines in a Unix/Linux environment.
  • Experience working with cloud compute platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar).
  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to clean, reproducible code.

Additional preferred experience includes:

  • Experience analyzing single-cell RNA-seq or perturb-seq datasets.
  • Familiarity with workflow management systems (Nextflow, Snakemake, or similar).
  • Experience with containerization tools such as Docker.
