NGS analysis, COVID Your new companyOne of the most exciting diagnostics companies in the country, based in the West Midlands area, are currently undergoing strong growth in their bioinformatics, statistics and biology teams to help drive their new development efforts.The company is heavily focused on genomics & NGS within clinical and in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), and are recruiting several experienced bioinformaticians, biostatisticians and data scientists with strong programming and analysis skills to help drive their company forward and make a real difference in the diagnosis of patients with a variety of diseases.They have had significant revenue from developing and analysing data from COVID-19 tests, on top of their existing products and services within cancer and clinical diagnostics and are looking to spin out and expand an existing division, providing an excellent opportunity to have a great impact on the future of this business.Your new roleYou will act as an expert bioinformatician, focusing on viral informatics & molecular virology. driving the development of their pipelines for analysing large amounts of clinical and pathogen / viral data within a regulated (ISO15189) environment as they expand their service & analytics division into a semi-autonomous company and further develop their product line.You will be carrying out pipeline and/or tool optimisation & development, liaising with software developers and the existing computational team, as well as WGS analysis and interpretation of data from COVID and other pathogens.Working as part of a cross-functional team, you will be responsible for managing self-contained bioinformatics projects and collaborating on larger projects with colleagues in departments such as molecular biology, engineering, and software/IT development.This is a mainly home-based role with occasional, regular travel into site.Major responsibilities will include:

  • Building and validating pipelines for clinical and pathogenic data analysis, ensuring these are optimised and fully integrated with LIMS and QMS systems;
  • Identifying third party tools and/or optimising or developing these to make the service faster and more efficient;
  • Project management, including setting timelines and milestones;
  • Hands-on programming, ideally in Python or R;
  • Liaising with major stakeholders;
  • The analysis of WGS and NGS data from pathogens including COVID / SARS-COV-2;
  • Acting as a Subject Matter Expert on viral bioinformatics to internal stakeholders and external clients;
  • Providing training and support to colleagues.
    • More senior candidates will be able to have a significant input into strategy and take on more leadership responsibilities.What youll need to succeedAs well as strong communication, organisational and time management skills, you should have:
  • An MSc / PhD (or equivalent experience) in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics, computer science, biology or a related subject, eg molecular virology;
  • Exposure to tool / pipeline development and optimisation;
  • A track record of analysing pathogenic and viral genetic or genomic data, ideally with good experience of WGS analysis & interpretation from human pathogens;
  • Wider experience handling other genomic data (eg sequencing / NGS, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, methylation) or clinical data, with a preference for Illumina or Nanopore sequencing data;
  • Hands-on programming skills in a language such as R, Python, Perl, C/C++ or similar; and
  • Good project management skills.
    • Candidates with knowledge / experience of biomarker discovery or validation, clinical diagnostics, commercial product development, or IVD/medical device quality and regulatory requirements are encouraged to apply. A background in molecular virology would be an advantage for this role.What youll get in returnThe chance to work on a range of interesting projects in a great company atmosphere, as well as being to directly influence the development of the companys growing service division that will make a real difference to patients.Youll also be joining the company as they go into their next growth phase, so there will be chances to further develop your skills and career.
