  • Have experience analyzing data from a range of sequencing technologies (esp. Illumina and PacBio) and molecular biology assays
  • Are comfortable contributing to source code for large open source projects with preference for Python knowledge
  • Excellent communication (written and verbal) and data presentation skills

And have experience in most of these areas:

  • Shared High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments e.g. S/UGE, LSF, and/or Amazon AWS
  • Distributed Workflow managers, e.g. airflow, luigi, COSMOS
