What if the work you did every day could impact the lives of people you know? Or all of humanity?

At Illumina, we are expanding access to genomic technology to realize health equity for billions of people around the world. Our efforts enable life-changing discoveries that are transforming human health through the early detection and diagnosis of diseases and new treatment options for patients.

Working at Illumina means being part of something bigger than yourself. Every person, in every role, has the opportunity to make a difference. Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible.

Overview

Hundreds of millions of human genomes and exomes are expected to be sequenced over the next decade, driven by steady innovations in sequencing technologies pioneered by Illumina. The enormous quantities of genomic data being generated by Illumina in collaboration with our partners worldwide represents a major opportunity to develop novel data-driven and artificial intelligence methods to extract clinically actionable information from the genome, and apply it towards improving human health.

Our Exceptional Multi-disciplinary Team Is Unlocking The Power Of The Genome

To accelerate the pace of discovery from large human genetics and single cell datasets, Illumina is recruiting a world-class computational scientist to work on the development of novel algorithms and machine learning models for deciphering the effects of genetic perturbations and genetic variants in the human genome at unprecedented scale. Major aims would include analyzing large scale single cell datasets to map pathways and decipher gene regulatory programs, and pooling together analyses of multi-omics datasets with clinical and genetic data from hundreds of thousands of patients to discover new insights.

A key objective is to publish research results in peer-reviewed journals describing novel algorithms and discoveries in the field of large-scale single cell multi-omics and human genetics, thereby removing barriers to clinical adoption of whole genome sequencing. In addition to strong analytical skills, this position will require a high degree of initiative, autonomy, and scientific collaboration.

Position Responsibilities

• Lead the development of novel bioinformatics and deep learning algorithms for deciphering human genetic variants, gene regulation, gene expression, and disease pathways by using information from detailed clinical phenotypes and medical records, multi-omics, single cell, proteomics, and genomic data.
• Lead scientific collaborations with Illumina’s academic, nonprofit, and industry partners, and lead a multidisciplinary team focused on achieving these aims.
• Publish and disseminate methods and findings and incorporate them into software products to the benefit of the wider genetics community.
  
  

Listed responsibilities are an essential, but not exhaustive list, of the usual duties associated with the position. Changes to individual responsibilities may occur due to business needs.
