Bioinformatics Scientist

at  cfdx

cfdx is building the world’s first AI precision neuroscience company. We are at the start of our journey, first tackling the hardest problem in the space: understanding the basis of neurodegeneration. We will be developing novel diagnostics and target discovery platforms to impact the lives of hundreds of millions globally.
Now venture-backed with leading funds in Europe and the US, we are building the founding team. We are value-driven and committed to curating an environment that will foster the world’s best AI and neuroscience research team.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• First-hand experience with generating biological insights from genomics/epigenetics/transcriptomics data, including the end-to-end bioinformatics tools used to process sequencing data from raw reads all the way to analytical outputs
• Proven track-record of analysing high throughput NGS and multi-omics data in real-world context
• Hold a PhD or equivalent industry experience in bioinformatics, computational biology or a related field
• Expertise with statistical approaches applied to evaluating biological datasets.
• Good working knowledge of workflow managers, including but not limited to NextFlow.
• Good working knowledge with cloud computing environments, including but not limited to AWS.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As an early-stage startup you will be taking ownership of “dry-lab” operations, including:

• Research and marker discovery related to neurological diseases
• Feature engineering for machine learning pipelines
• Providing domain knowledge for multi-omic large biological foundation models (LLMs)
• QC and data analysis
• NGS bioinformatics pipeline development (scaling up to 1000s of samples)
• Cloud infrastructure and core software engineering
