Will you join us in transforming medical genetics into an information science?

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) is a recent technology that allows for fast and cost-effective characterisation of DNA. This has already marked a watershed in medical genetics and is paving the way for highly personalised treatment of patients in medicine in general. At OUS, we are rapidly expanding our diagnostic offer using this technology and are now looking for more informaticians that can help us develop analyses and software that enable us to scale and widen our diagnostic offering.

Tasks

  • You will work on constructing analysis pipelines that transform vast datasets into genetic variants.
  • Develop software applications that help scale the use of HTS in clinical diagnostics in a highly interdisciplinary environment and a growing team of 8 bioinformaticians.

Qualifications

  • Higher education in informatics or related disciplines.
  • Extensive programming experience (e.g. Python, Javascript, application development).
  • Experience with team-based software development (e.g. industry, open-source).
  • Knowledge of technologies/methods such as REST, AngularJS, HTML5, TDD
  • Excellent Norwegian or English oral/writing skills.

Language

  • English
  • Norwegian

Personal qualities

  • An interest in data analytics (bioinformatics), healthcare, and genetics.
  • Reliable and structured, works well with others in interdisciplinary settings.
  • Knowledge of managing and scaling systems to handle very large data volumes.
  • The personal suitability of a candidate will be given consideration in the selection process.

We offer

  • Full or part time (%): 100%
  • Permanent position in a very interesting and extremely fast-developing field
  • Varied tasks, an opportunity to initiate usage of HPC in the health care system
  • Flexible hours and salary depending on qualifications
  • Skilled and nice colleagues who love their job
