About the Role
Join the Precision Radiotherapeutics and Oncology Programme and the Data and Computational Science Core at the National Cancer Centre Singapore. Contribute to multi-omics research and big-data analysis infrastructure, integrating various data types to develop biomarkers for predicting patient responses to cancer treatment.
Responsibilities
- Optimise genomic, transcriptomic, and radiomic data-processing and statistical-analysis pipelines.
- Perform feature engineering for statistical modelling, machine learning, and deep learning.
- Conduct survival analyses and other relevant computational analyses to understand cancer progression and treatment resistance.
- Contribute to and guide research discussions with scientists and clinical collaborators.
Requirements
- A postgraduate degree, at least at the master’s level, in bioinformatics, quantitative or computational biology, data science, computer science, or a related field.
- Highly motivated, organised, meticulous, and committed to maintaining high-quality standards.
- For PhD holders, at least two years of experience in analysing multi-omics data, such as whole-exome sequencing and RNA-sequencing data, and clinical data using statistical methods, classical machine learning, deep learning, and language models.
- Prior experience in data curation, cleaning, organisation, and management.
- Proficiency in Python, R, or another relevant programming language.
- Demonstrable data analysis skills with a portfolio on relevant datasets (e.g. TCGA, Kaggle).
- Familiarity with command line shells (e.g. bash, zsh).
- Prior experience working with high-performance computing clusters and job schedulers.
- Knowledge and experience in biostatistical analyses of clinical datasets.
- Knowledge and experience in multi-omics analyses (e.g. analyses of WES, RNASeq data).
- Able to work independently under pressure as well as in a team.
- Strong organizational, interpersonal and presentation skills.
- Responsible, analytical and self-confident with a mature personality.
