Kraków, Poland

Currently, we are looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist to join a newly established bioinformatics team. This role offers the opportunity to work on diverse and engaging scientific projects, including the implementation of standard omics data analysis pipelines as well as intensity-based data analysis. You will work in a collaborative, dynamic, and friendly environment, closely cooperating with scientists within interdisciplinary research teams.

We are open to both junior-level candidates and more experienced professionals — the final position level will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and interview performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently perform bioinformatics analyses (omics- or image-based), including data quality control, processing, and visualization;
• Develop, adapt, and maintain scripts for routine and project-specific analyses;
• Document, interpret, and report analysis results with minimal supervision;
• Prepare and present results to internal stakeholders and project teams;
• Address internal client feedback and implement requested changes to analyses or workflows;
• Contribute to the development, optimization, and standardization of bioinformatics pipelines;
• Collaborate closely with scientists within interdisciplinary research teams, supporting cross-functional project activities.

Your Background

• Education: MSc or PhD in a relevant field such as Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Data Science, Biostatistics, or related disciplines;
• Background in bioinformatics, gained either through completed studies in this area or/and through professional experience in a bioinformatics-related role;
• Programming skills: experience with R/Shiny and/or Python, as well as basic knowledge of UNIX/Linux — basic programming skills are an absolute must; more advanced skills are expected depending on seniority level;
• Fluent English, enabling effective communication in an international scientific environment;
• Strong team-oriented mindset with well-developed collaboration and communication skills;
• Analytical and creative approach to problem-solving, with the ability to work effectively under time pressure;
• Curiosity, willingness to learn, and motivation to grow within a developing bioinformatics team.
