Commission Bioinformatics Software Engineer information

What is the difference between Commission Bioinformatics Software Engineer vs Bioinformatics Software Developer?

AspectCommission Bioinformatics Software EngineerBioinformatics Software Developer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or related field; experience with bioinformatics toolsBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or related field; programming skills
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, biotech companies, pharmaceutical firmsSoftware development firms, research institutions, biotech companies
Industry UsageUsed in clinical, research, and pharmaceutical settings for bioinformatics solutionsUsed across biotech, healthcare, and research sectors for software development

The main difference is that Commission Bioinformatics Software Engineers focus on developing bioinformatics tools specifically for clinical and research applications, often working within regulated environments. Bioinformatics Software Developers may work on a broader range of software projects, not necessarily specialized in bioinformatics or regulated settings. Both roles require strong programming skills and a background in bioinformatics or related fields, but their focus and work environments differ slightly.

Job description

R&D Partners is seeking to hire a Bioinformatics Engineer — T2T Genome Assembly in Foster City, CA.

Your main responsibilities as a Bioinformatics Engineer — T2T Genome Assembly:

·      Plan assembly approaches for non model organisms (data QC, genome profiling, contamination screening, coverage targets) and advise sequencing strategy.

·      Run and iterate long read assemblies and consensus refinement (e.g., hifiasm/Verkko/Flye/Canu; polishing as appropriate) toward chromosome scale, T2T quality results.

·      Resolve haplotypes and complex ploidy/heterozygosity (e.g., trio binning; Hi C/Strand seq assisted phasing) and deliver haplotype resolved assemblies when required.

·      Scaffold and curate assemblies with long range data (e.g., Hi C/Omni C, Strand seq, optical maps): detect/resolve mis joins, close gaps where feasible, and document curation decisions.

·      Benchmark quality and completeness (e.g., k mer spectra/Merqury, BUSCO, QUAST, read mapping), including repeat/centromere/telomere assessments to guide iterative improvements.

What we are looking for in a Bioinformatics Engineer — T2T Genome Assembly:

·      PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, or related field.
