Your job in a nutshell
As a (Junior) Scientist in Bioinformatics, you will contribute to designing and executing all the data analysis, computational, and modeling steps required to discover new molecular signatures and translate them into clinically relevant and commercially viable molecular assays, for diagnosis, prognosis, and drug effectiveness prediction.
You will be working with internationally renowned academic partners and SkylineDx’ multidisciplinary development team.
Currently, we have a great team of close to 50 people in the Netherlands and 20 people working in the US. You will be responsible for helping us support this exceptional group of people and make future growth possible.
Together, we ensure the translation of clinically relevant scientific discoveries into reliable medical diagnostic assays for diagnosis, prognosis, and drug effectiveness prediction that will ultimately contribute to improved patient care.
You will perform your work from our Rotterdam office (hybrid work model) and report to the Director of Bioinformatics.
