About Halcyon Technologies
Halcyon Technologies is a regional biotech and research engineering business serving the Route 128 corridor since 2006. We operate 5 locations and have built a reputation for consistent quality and dependable teams.
About the role
You'll support the bioinformatics team with the day-to-day work that keeps analyses moving: running established pipelines on new datasets, performing quality-control checks, organizing and annotating data files, maintaining sample and metadata records, and helping prepare tables and figures for reports. With guidance from senior analysts, you'll gradually take on scripting tasks and small independent analyses as your skills develop.
What you will bring
You're early in your bioinformatics career with solid coursework or co-op experience in sequence analysis. You're comfortable with basic Python or R and the command line, careful with file organization and naming, and honest about what you don't know yet.
If this sounds like the right fit, apply through this listing. Final-round interviews are typically on-site.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in bioinformatics, biology, computer science, or a related field
- Exposure to sequence analysis tools through coursework, co-op, or lab experience
- Basic scripting ability in Python or R and comfort with the command line
- Eligibility to work in Canada
Benefits
- On-site or subsidised parking
- Annual professional-development stipend
- Full health, dental, and vision benefits from day one
- 401(k) match up to 4 percent with strong vesting
