What You Will Do:

• Analyze data from next generation sequencing assays (eg. RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq), flow cytometry, or other related technologies.
• Develop Machine Learning or statistical methods to extract insights from large screening experiments.
• Work closely with ArsenalBio scientists across different functions and disciplines to rapidly iterate through the cycle of experimental design, hypothesis testing, data collection, and interpretation.
• Assist with experimental design, for example through modeling or simulations.
• Help productionize computational workflows so that they can be executed in a robust and reproducible manner.
• Develop visualization tools.

What Will You Bring:

• Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Biomedical Engineering, Biology, or a related field with 0-2 years of industry experience
 OR Masters with 5+ years of industry experience
OR Bachelors with 7+ years of industry experience
• Demonstrated ability to apply data analysis and engineering skills to answer biological questions.
• Hands-on experience analyzing next generation sequencing data and/or flow cytometry data.
• Ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively in an interdisciplinary environment.
• Proficiency in Python or R.
• Experience working in Linux environments.

Additional Desired Skills:

• Familiarity with cloud computing environments and version control systems (eg. git).
