Your extra qualifications
Experience with Target Discovery and Pharmacoinformatics methods
Broad experience with human genetics and the analysis of large-scale genomic association studies
Knowledge of network biology approaches
Broad experience with large Omics public consortia data sets and databases (e.g. GTEx, HCA, etc)
Experience with pipelines and workflow management (e.g. Snakemake, Nextflow)
Mentor and train team members, advising on methodologies and best practices to help overcome technical obstacles
Client-facing skills and are curious about customer problems
Naturally seeks creativity, innovation and excellence in your work
You are not afraid to challenge the status quo and drive positive change. You contribute with a forward-thinking attitude and develop proposals to enhance existing processes and practices. You have a can-do entrepreneurial spirit and interest in commercial opportunities and collaborations.
