    BACKGROUND

    The HGSC Next-Generation 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.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Responsibilities include all aspects of NexGen sequence analysis; this consists of the actual sequencing instruments, data transfer pipelines, analysis pipelines and downstream analysis.

    The candidate will be working with a group of four developers with the main objective of delivering high quality, stable, maintainable and scalable software that allows us to keep up with the dynamics of the NexGen sequencing field. Systems knowledge is a plus as the candidate will be interacting with our systems administration team.

    The HGSC work environment is active and energized, 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.
