Vancouver, BC, Canada

Posted on Apr 6, 2023

AbCellera is a nimble, energetic, and quickly growing tech company that searches, decodes, and analyzes natural immune systems to find antibodies that its partners can develop into drugs to prevent and treat disease. We are not afraid of challenges and together we tackle tough problems. Today, we’re able to discover antibodies and deliver them to our partners. But we’re not stopping there. We’re expanding our capabilities to help our partners get farther in drug development faster.

We are seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatician within our Translational group with expertise in building and executing integrated analysis pipelines from high-throughput sequencing datasets from genomic and transcriptomic studies. Our ideal candidate is a highly motivated and self-directed Bioinformatician, a team-player who thrives in a fast-paced work environment with multiple competing priorities, and above all, someone who can learn and grow with us. This is an exciting opportunity to join one of Canada’s most innovative biotech companies and to contribute to our cutting-edge research, driving the discovery of novel monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use.

How you might spend your days:

Establishing computational framework for integrating, accessing and analyzing genomic and transcriptomic datasets from publicly available sources or in-house experiments
Developing analysis workflows for high-throughput DNA, and RNA sequencing data
Integrating new pipelines with other components of AbCellera’s tech stack
Assisting in the analysis and interpretation of gene expression data in order to answer key biological questions in disease areas of interest
Working with scientists on our discovery and translational teams to leverage Bioinformatics datasets and assist in efforts of target assessment
Collaborating with wet-lab scientists, data scientists, and bioinformaticians to design experiments, analyze data, and interpret the results in order to understand aspects of a molecule’s biology

Required qualifications and experience:

PhD or MSc in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field
Demonstrated expertise in R, Python, and building complex code in a collaborative environment
Experience supporting and working with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment
Experience working with high-throughput sequencing data (RNAseq, scRNAseq, WES)
Strong analytical skills related to working with large diverse datasets
A demonstrated ability to find creative and functional solutions to complicated problems
The ability to express complex ideas in understandable ways, and to communicate effectively with people from different fields
Excellent documentation skills with impeccable attention to detail

Bonus qualifications, but not required:

A good foundation in statistical analysis
An understanding of the basics and limitations of experimental protocols
A background in Immunology

Offers & benefits:

The opportunity to work with an inspired team on challenging problems that matter
An attractive compensation package, including health and lifestyle benefits
A minimum of 3 weeks’ vacation
Opportunities for personal and professional development

About AbCellera:
