The role 

As a Bioinformatics Scientist / Computational Biologist in our Genomics Lab, you’ll bridge high-throughput data generation and actionable biological insights. You’ll work with cutting-edge sequencing platforms (Illumina, PacBio/ONT, optical mapping), analysing and interpreting complex genomic data to optimize our CGT production platform.

Key responsibilities 

• Analyse and interpret large-scale genomics datasets (short- and long-read sequencing, optical mapping) as well as correlating results with measured phenotypes


• Develop and optimize robust, reproducible data pipelines


• Collaborate with wet-lab scientists on experimental design and troubleshooting


• Integrate and visualize multi-omics data; clearly communicate findings


• Stay current with the latest bioinformatics tools and literature

Required qualifications 

• Ph.D. or M.S. with 3+ years’ experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or related field


• Strong conceptual knowledge of molecular biology, genetics, and hands-on experience in NGS data analysis (WGS, RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, viral/bacterial genome analysis)


• Proficient in Python or R for data analysis and visualization, and software development; comfortable in Linux/Unix environments


• Excellent communication skills in English (spoken and written)

Bonus points for 

• A Ph.D. or Postdoc with a strong research background, demonstrated by publications or conference presentations in a relevant field


• Demonstrated passion for biology and a strong interest in working closely with experimental biologists to understand and influence the data generation process.


• Experience with long-read sequencing (PacBio/ONT), de novo assembly, structural variant analysis, mutation calling on short-read sequencing data.


• Familiarity with workflow management (Nextflow, Snakemake), containerization (Docker), and cloud computing


• Experience with machine learning or AI in bioinformatics

What we offer 

• Competitive salary and benefits package


• Access to advanced genomics technology and unique datasets


• Dynamic, international, and collaborative work environment


• Opportunities for professional growth and direct impact on cell and gene therapy


• On-site position


• Start date: immediately or by agreement
