Description:

The Genetic Data Analyst will analyze, interpret, and manage large-scale genomic datasets to provide valuable insights into human health, disease, and genetic variation.
This role involves collaborating with bioinformaticians, geneticists, and researchers to analyze sequencing data and identify genetic variants.
Key responsibilities include performing in-depth analysis of genomic data, developing and maintaining data pipelines, and supporting precision medicine initiatives.
The analyst will create visualizations and reports to communicate complex genetic data effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
Ensuring data quality and integrity through robust checks is also a critical part of the job.

Requirements:

Candidates must have extensive experience in analyzing and interpreting genomic data, including whole-genome sequencing, RNA-seq, and other high-throughput sequencing datasets.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or Perl for data analysis and pipeline development is required.
Experience with data visualization tools like ggplot2, Matplotlib, or Seaborn is necessary for presenting genetic data clearly.
Knowledge of variant calling, annotation, and interpretation, including familiarity with tools like GATK, ANNOVAR, and SnpEff, is essential.
Strong collaboration skills are needed to work effectively with geneticists, bioinformaticians, and clinical researchers.
A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field is required, with equivalent experience valued.
A Ph.D. in Genetics, Genomics, or Bioinformatics is a plus but not mandatory.
Candidates should have 3+ years of experience in genetic data analysis, particularly with next-generation sequencing data.

The position offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
Employees receive competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options promote work-life balance.
Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs are available for professional development.
Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources, is provided.
Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage are included in the benefits package.
Employees can utilize a confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for personal and professional challenges.
Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development is available through tuition reimbursement.
Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities are encouraged.
Employee recognition programs celebrate achievements and milestones within the organization.
