Overview
Data Associate Jobs in Montreal, Quebec at Nomic Bio
Title: Data Associate
Company: Nomic Bio
Location: Montreal, Quebec
About us:Nomic was founded with the purpose of making biology easier to measure. To do this, we have untangled some of the most difficult problems in protein profiling. Our team is combining DNA nanotechnology, high-dimensional flow cytometry, laboratory automation, and machine learning to develop the world’s highest throughput proteomic platform: the nELISA.
Since spinning out of McGill University, we have partnered with and provided platform access to dozens of drug discovery groups including GSK, 4 of the top 10 pharmas, and leading biotechs. We have recently launched a state of the art manufacturing and protein profiling facility that enables multiplexed measurement of >2.5M samples a year, generating an effective 500M protein assays in the process.
We are building a diverse team of engineers, scientists, and world-changers. We like to break down difficult problems using a first principles approach, often leveraging the latest breakthroughs from across the scientific and technological spectrum to drive our mission forward.
Nomic is headquartered in Montreal, Canada with a satellite research lab in Boston, Massachusetts. The majority of our team is based in Montreal and works in a new, shared office/laboratory space with an in-person, but flexible work-from-home, policy.
About the role:Our Data team’s mission is to build, operate and maintain the data infrastructure and data pipelines needed for analyzing nELISA data at scale. Strong fundamentals in data science and data engineering is key to our vision of the future, and every aspect of our company today is geared towards generating more useful proteomic data. In the lab we are scaling the nELISA to generate higher plex and lower cost proteomic data points, and outside the lab we help our users to best leverage nELISA data for their biological research.
Our data roadmap includes building robust pipelines for decoding nELISA datasets, generating advanced and application-specific bioinformatic pipelines to help customers understand their unique datasets, developing improved internal-facing tools that will let us execute faster in the lab by extracting insights from our nELISA profiling and manufacturing QC data on demand.
As a Data Associate, you will play a critical, first-hand role in operating and improving the data pipelines and data infrastructure for handling all things nELISA data. In particular:
You will primarily be responsible for using our existing software tools to analyze nELISA data, including troubleshooting and improving these tools as needed.
As such, you will be extracting meaningful insights from all nELISA datasets generated by the team, building data processing tools to help teammates understand nELISA data, and generally helping us to wrangle nELISA data on a daily basis.
You will also get to analyze or support teammates in analyzing biochemical and molecular data from a range of other bioanalytical assays, such as: spectroscopy, protein purification, antibody conjugation, DNA modification, and fluorescent labeling.
This role will involve substantial communication, teamwork, and attention to detail, especially when identifying and troubleshooting issues related to nELISA data.
You will collaborate with your teammates to identify new technical solutions, and clearly communicate analytical results to support decision-making company-wide.
What we’re looking for:
2+ years of industry experience building or …
