Job Description

Candidates wishing for flexibility to work remotely from other Singapore locations may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Overview

Since 2001, the cost of DNA sequencing has dropped more than 100,000-fold, from $100,000,000 USD per human genome to less than $600 USD today. This is resulting in explosive growth of genomics data, which we are combining with machine learning for data-driven agriculture, cancer treatment, reproductive health, and other life-changing applications.

Our Exceptional AI Researchers Are Unlocking The Power Of The Genome

Illumina is the largest developer, manufacturer, and marketer of life science tools and integrated systems for large-scale analysis of genetic variation and function.
  • Accelerate demand for Illumina sequencing technology
  • Make AI a core part of our company by enabling new business directions and improving processes
  • Enable personalised medicine
As a member of Illumina’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, you will be part of an international collaboration between AI researchers and bioinformaticians in the US, UK, and Singapore. Algorithms and models will be published in peer-reviewed journals, as software products, and as patents. This will increase the accuracy, throughput, and reproducibility of genome interpretation, thereby removing barriers to the clinical adoption of whole-genome sequencing.

About You

You are likely to have a Ph.D. in a quantitative subject, such as genomics, mathematics, physics, or computer science. You may also have a history of academic publications or comparable industry experience.

Essential Skills

  • Experience with deep learning frameworks, such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, and Sonnet.
  • Experience with data science tools, such as NumPy, Pandas, and SciKit-Learn.
  • Experience with programming languages used in data science, such as Python, C++, and R.
  • Excellent communication skills.
Desirable Skills (not Mandatory)

  • Expertise in genomics or statistics.
  • Experience in high-utility areas of machine learning, such as computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning.
