1. Develop, maintain and operate bioinformatics workflows for the analysis of sequencing data (NGS and Nanopore).
2. Optimize and further develop the bioinformatics infrastructure supporting molecular genetic analyses.
3. Proactively identify methodological, technical, and workflow-related shortcomings in bioinformatics analyses and data pipelines; independently propose and implement improvements to analysis strategies, tools, automation and reporting.
4. Develop and implement new analysis applications to support research projects and clinical diagnostics.
5. Collaborate closely with other bioinformaticians, laboratory scientists, and clinicians to ensure seamless integration of new methods, assays and end-to-end workflows.
6. Strong bioinformatics expertise and solid Linux proficiency, demonstrated through hands-on work in NGS data analysis and pipeline development
7. Excellent programming skills, with practical experience in Python and workflow management using Snakemake (required) and Nextflow (preferred)). Additional R skills are a plus.
