• Strong technical focus and knowledge of genomics, molecular biology, and technologies such as qPCR and next-generation sequencing.
• Demonstrated proficiency in the analysis of large-scale transcriptomics data (especially scRNA-seq).
• Experience identifying outliers for gene expression and splicing from RNA-seq data.
• Experience working with relevant genomic databases and browsers and their annotations.
• Proficiency in Git operations.
• Strong coding and visualization skills using Python or R.
• Experienced in data wrangling using pandas or tidyverse.
• Skilleted in Linux command-line interface (CLI) operations.
• Ability to ensure accuracy and spot discrepancies or duplications for data entry and validation.
• Ability to track down the correct data source and not be dissuaded by obstacles or incomplete information.
• Ability to assess, analyze, and question information critically.
• Ability to deliver steady and reliable results in a given time frame.
