Position Description
At Phosphorus, our vision is to create a world where every healthcare decision is optimized with genomics. As a bioinformatician, you will design, build, and implement new software that helps deliver cutting edge genetic advancements to the modern world. We are looking for passionate bioinformatic scientists that want to be part of a company that's pioneering the way in which genetic information is interpreted.
The Bioinformatics team at Phosphorus is composed of folks with diverse previous experience in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, genomics, big data, cloud computing and machine learning. We are responsible for building the clinical NGS analysis pipeline, identifying novel classes of genomic variation, building tools for genomic interpretation and collaborating with R&D lab scientists to bring new products to market.
As Phosphorus expands our genomics platform in new and exciting directions, we are continuing to bring on top talent in bioinformatics. We are seeking a highly motivated individual with deep experience in bioinformatics, genomics and NGS technology to grow this team. Ideal candidates will bring expertise, humility and a strong intellectual curiosity to our overall mission of democratizing access to genetic information.
