• Upstream processing of 'omics data (QC, normalization, exploratory data analysis).
• Downstream processing of bulk, single-cell, and/or spatial transcriptomic data (e.g., cell type annotation, differential gene expression analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, results visualization).

Qualifications to be successful in this role:

• PhD in Bioinformatics, Genetics, Molecular and Cellular Biology, or related field or MS with at least 6 years of experience.
