Job:NYC Startup seeks bioinformatician interested in the automation of NGS analysis.

Question

[Keith]

We are looking for a bioinformatics wiz who wants to help the biologists work more efficiently. At Stirplate.io, we are building automated tools that make NGS data processing ultra simple, even for those biologist who have no idea what Linux is:)

You will use a variety of open source tools, such as the Tuxedo suite, R, Star and many more to build fully automated pipelines. Ideally, you have an understanding of how to build your own tools as well, we have plenty of resources to support your development.

We are pushing the edge of cloud computing and are looking for someone who is interested in growing past what they learned in class.

Requirements:

• Ability to communicate complex NGS methods in a simple to understand fashion
• 3+ years experience with NGS methods and tools (Tophat, etc)
• Experience with RNAseq, ChipSeq, DNAseq
• 3+ years experience with R
• Experience with Python, perl or Java
• Experience with SQL
• Very comfortable with Linux

Bonus points for:

• Experience with PHP
• Familiar with AWS, Google Compute Engine or any other cloud computing system.

Note: We are only hiring people who can work with us in NYC, no remote positions open at this time.

If you are interested, contact me at [e-mail]

Thanks!

FYI, you spelled perl incorrectly in the original post (I fixed it for you). In the likely event that you're posting this elsewhere then you might want to update your template text :)
