We are seeking Scientist II, Bioinformatics to join IQVIA Laboratories at Santa Fe, NM.

Job Summary:

What You'll Be Doing:

• Operate established Sanger sequencing pipelines, including assembly, trimming, QC, variant calling, and delivery of curated sequence lists
• Run NGS pipelines across Illumina, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore workflows for antibody discovery, including paired-chain assembly, clonotyping, repertoire annotation, and longitudinal analysis
• Manage the informatics queue by receiving analysis requests, scoping deliverables, setting timeline expectations, and tracking work in progress
• Perform wet-lab work supporting sequencing operations, including NGS sample preparation, library QC, plate and sample tracking, Sanger submissions, and coordination with sequencing cores or vendors
• Use AI coding assistants such as Claude, Claude Code, Copilot, or equivalent tools to author, extend, debug, and document pipelines, scripts, and reports while reviewing outputs for correctness
• Develop, maintain, and run custom scripts, visualizations, Excel and PDF reports, and lightweight dashboards for discovery, program management, and customer-facing teams
• Operate production sequencing workflows on AWS using S3, EC2, HPC or parallel compute, and pipeline frameworks such as Nextflow, Snakemake, or equivalent
• Maintain complete documentation in Benchling and version-controlled repositories while performing quality checks to ensure reproducibility, accuracy, and traceability
   

What We Are Looking For:

• PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry, or a closely related discipline (fresh PhD acceptable); OR MSc in a related discipline with 2+ years of directly relevant industry or academic experience
• Hands-on exposure to sequencing data analysis, including Sanger and/or NGS analysis through thesis, coursework, academic research, or prior industry work
• Demonstrated hands-on experience operating sequencing analysis pipelines for Sanger and at least one NGS platform, including Illumina, PacBio, or Oxford Nanopore
• Wet-lab experience in molecular biology and/or NGS sample preparation
• Working knowledge of AWS S3 and EC2, with willingness to grow into HPC, parallel compute, and pipeline orchestration frameworks such as Nextflow or Snakemake
• Other equivalent combination of education, training, and experience may be accepted in lieu of degree
   

The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Needed for This Role:

• Working knowledge of antibody discovery and antibody sequencing fundamentals, including library design, display campaigns, and sequencing-based readouts
• Strong communication and customer-focus perspective, with the ability to triage and prioritize incoming sequencing-analysis requests
• Quality-conscious approach with high ethics and integrity, including the ability to follow SOPs precisely while flagging anomalies and improvement opportunities
• Ability to collaborate closely with wet-lab scientists, informatics teams, Project Managers, and Technical Supervisors to support accurate and timely delivery
• Comfort using AI coding assistants as part of day-to-day work, including disciplined review of AI-generated code, analyses, and reports
• Desirable experience with R, Streamlit, Dash, Plotly, FastAPI, PyTorch, scikit-learn, AlphaFold, RoseTTAFold, Benchling SDK or APIs, laboratory information systems, AWS Batch, or ParallelCluster
