BACKGROUND

We are seeking a creative, self-motivated scientist to join VelocImmune – the Antibody Generation Technology and Discovery Centers of Regeneron Pharmaceutical Inc. in Tarrytown, NY.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful candidate will support on-going, and initiate new, research projects towards generating, identifying, characterizing, and modifying novel antigen receptor molecules based on analyses of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. The ideal candidate should have a strong combined background in computer science, immunology and molecular biology, as well as experience in bioinformatic analyses of NGS data from different sequencing platforms.

REQUIREMENTS

This position requires a minimum of a Ph.D degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering or related fields, with 1-3 years research experience analysis of NGS data. The candidate needs to be familiar with most up-to-date sequencing platforms (e.g. Iliumina Mi-seq, Hi-seq, Pac Bio, Ion torrent, etc). Solid knowledge of scripting languages (Perl, Python, R or Ruby), SQL and Unix OS are strictly required. The candidate should also understand basic lab technologies in molecular biology, especially for NGS sample preparation. Experience in computational structural biology is strongly preferred. Candidate should have good oral and written communication skills and a clear sense of organization, purpose, and accountability.
