Basically its one job but they didnt want to limit people to having a masters degree or not, but UPenn has separate levels based on that (very old school) so they made the position open to both A/B (BSc vs MSc essentially). Feel free to post questions you might have and happy to answer. You would be working with me on a variety of single cell cancer projects. I gave HR a job description and they kinda filled it out below... clearly they have added some buzz words for x reasons but you get the jist. Position linked above and posted below:
Posted Job Title Bioinformatics Specialist (Pathology and Laboratory Medicine)
Job Profile Title Bioinformatician A
Job Description Summary The individual filling this position will be involved with data analysis focused in -omics cellular immunotherapy-based clinical trials. He/She will have prior experience with bioinformatics and familiarity with high-performance computing environments. He/She will have prior experience with sequencing data analysis and wet lab work (e.g. RNA-seq, CHIP-Seq, ATAC-seq, CITE-seq, single cell, basic tissue culture techniques and basic molecular biology). He/She must have demonstrated proficiency with the R data analysis ecosystem, and have experience with git, Bash, data visualization, markdown, and large data wrangling. Have a basic understanding of how single cell technology and sequencing works. In addition, previous experience with Python, Rust, and/or machine learning would be an asset but not required.
Bioinformatician B - He/She will have the duties outlined above, with the additional expectation that He/She will show a higher degree of independence and previous experience with Python, Rust, and/or machine learning. He/She will also assist in the generation of data visualizations to report results in collaboration with clinical and basic scientists.
