No, I was merely posting a job.
Our Client is expanding development of molecular diagnostics to improve health care. The company is based in the Central North region and has rapidly grown by creating and marketing superior genetic tests for use in clinical practice across the country. We are looking for bioinformatics scientists to help us continue to build upon our innovation in molecular diagnostics.
We are seeking bioinformatics scientists who can:
- support production analysis systems
- develop assay quality metrics to support manufacturing and assay QA/QC programs
- mine biological datasets to generate new insights and understanding
- develop new methodologies and algorithms
- design bioinformatics pipelines to support new assays and platforms
- analyze sequencing data to support scientists in development efforts
We prefer bioinformatics scientists with strong experience in Next Generation sequencing analysis, and in particular, candidates should be familiar with tools for read mapping, variant calling, as well as standard sequencing formats (fastq, bam, vcf, etc). Strong software skills are strongly preferred in both compiled languages (such as C#, C,C++, or Java) and scripting languages (such as python or R, but python is strongly preferred). We are especially interested in expertise in databases, cloud/hpc, analysis automation, and process QC.
We seek scientists with a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or a related quantitative field.
For more information, please contact Susan by email susan@connexissearch.com so that we can schedule an appointment.

Wait, now i'm confused - why did you ask such a basic question in the other post? Were you testing us?
Are you using the same recruitment tactics as Circada 3301? :P
I was talking about your only other post on the site where you ask:
Suppose you have a NGS read rom a human sample, can you describe some reasons why it might map to multiple locations?
It seemed very odd for someone who's company hires bioinformaticians to ask such a question. It would be like posting a job for an auto-mechanic, and then immediately asking what does a carburetor do.
These are the type questions we may ask candidates. If they don't know the answer, then they are probably not a fit.
You should perhaps post this as a question - it is a valid and interesting topic.
What type of questions should we ask our candidates
Instead of "stealth" asking them.
