• Advance degree- PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, or related fields.

Required experience and skills:

• Experience in biotech or pharmaceutical industries is a plus.

• Advanced skills in a high-level programming such as R or Python for data analysis and visualization.

• Expertise in downstream analysis for common NGS data types, such as WGS/WES/panel-seq, bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNAseq and spatial transcriptomics (experience in building NGS pipelines is not required but is a plus).

• Basic understanding of disease biology and molecular/cellular mechanisms in immunology.

• Expertise in network and systems biology is required.

• Expertise in contemporary machine-learning/AI methods is a plus.

Personality: Are you a computational biologist with a passion for unraveling the complexities of the immune system?

• If you have a strong foundation in bioinformatics, 'omics analysis, network biology, and systems biology, along with a deep understanding of molecular and cellular immunology, we'd love to hear from you.
