Scientist (Bioinformatician, Pathogen Annotation)

The Scientist (Bioinformatician, Pathogen Annotation) strengthens the readiness of the pathogen genomic surveillance platform by providing deep expertise in pathogen biology across an expanding portfolio of priority pathogens. This role involves rapid synthesis of literature and data to characterize new or emerging pathogens, define genomic architecture, and ensure accurate gene and feature annotation for reliable downstream analyses and public health interpretation. The position requires guiding the adaptation of curation workflows, analytical tools, and dashboards while designing validation and benchmarking strategies to ensure robust performance across diverse pathogen genomes.
