Senior Computational Scientist
Level: Advisor, Individual Contributor
Summary: The Senior Computational Scientist is an expert in developing innovative bioinformatics algorithms and pipelines and prototyping data analysis solutions for the early R&D phase. As an advisor level, the individual interacts with internal and external stakeholders to design, present, and formalize key concepts and solutions, adopting a technical lead role in the discussion, planning, execution, and interpretation of the related work.
This work shapes the product development direction that NeoGenomics will undertake and influences the future generations of diagnostics and cancer management. To this purpose, this role works closely with the assay development team, the broader Bioinformatics and Software team, and all functional areas involved in specific projects.
Responsibilities
Core Responsibilities:
- Contribute to the development of novel methodologies and algorithms.
- Perform computational analysis from new and custom assay prototypes (e.g., NGS-based assays).
- Provide innovative in-silico solutions to investigate or interpret existing and novel data, using internal or external data sources.
- Provide first implementation of Bioinformatics pipeline to aid initial product investigation.
- Contribute to the Company's competitiveness in developing cutting-edge technology.
- Serve as an advisor for the organization's assessment of innovative technologies in cancer diagnostics.
- Provide expert technical guidance internally and externally to all stakeholders, including discussions with the PMO, BD, and legal departments concerning the creation and assessment of new technologies.
- Stay up to date on technological advances and industry trends.
- Drive overall company growth and profitability via innovative product creations.
