Cartwright James is currently representing a Genomics Analysis Company that offers a portfolio of NGS based data analysis platforms. This company is looking for a Bioinformatician to add to their Clinical Genomics team.
This position is based in the Netherlands and relocation support can be offered from elsewhere in Europe for the right candidate.
Your scientific understanding and knowledge will be used in the context of assembling, configuring, optimizing, and/or implementing NGS pipelines. As the bioinformatician you will also provide scientific consultancy to some their (clinical, (bio)medical)
customers as well as various departments within the company. You will also be involved in pre-sales and other activities, to bring new customers on-board by providing expertise on the company’s services. Internally, you will proactively communicate customers’
needs and requirements with product management.
The ideal Bioinformatician will have the following traits and skills:
- You will have a bioinformatics degree with hands-on experience with bioinformatics tools/algorithms (such as alignment – BWA, variant calling – GATK, Freebayes…). Your profound knowledge in tertiary analysis will be used to set up and run pipelines from scratch (e.g. DNA and RNA-Seq), making use of various programming languages (e.g. Python, Perl, R, Java, Unix/Linux scripting)
- You are confident and able to setup NGS pipelines from scratch, in different domains.
- A PhD degree is not required, however, you must have working experiences in novel data-driven discovery practices.
- First-hand knowledge of the NGS market (clinical, biomedical, food, crops, and/or microbial) is considered as a plus
- You are flexible and keen to face customers and are able to successfully handle pre-sales and on-boarding projects.
- Astute, confident, and comfortable in asking the right questions, you are truly able to work in a consultative way with clients and to contribute to overall success.
- You are keen to work in a multi-disciplinary environment where engineering, development and science come together.
- You are able to travel.
- Industry experience is considered as a plus
- The position demands excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced professional to develop a successful career and have a direct impact on the company’s growth and success. This would be a great match for someone who is looking to move away from a larger business to
have more flexibility, or for someone from a small company who is looking for the next step up.
