About the role

NewLimit is seeking a Computational Biologist to join our Predict team. In this role, you will develop, improve, and operate bioinformatics pipelines supporting large-scale single-cell perturbation screens. You will work closely with experimentalists and computational scientists to maintain core infrastructure, assess emerging analysis tools, and build robust software solutions that improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor’s, Master's, or PhD in Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, or a related technical field
• Experience analyzing and interpreting single-cell or multi-omics datasets (e.g., scRNA-seq, multiome, scATAC-seq),
• Familiarity with core single-cell bioinformatics workflows, including demultiplexing, alignment, and quality control
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience working with bioinformatics tools and pipelines
• Working knowledge of statistical and machine learning methods applied to biological data (e.g. regression analysis, supervised learning) sufficient to critically evaluate analytical choices and interpret results conceptually
• hands-on exposure to perturbation screens preferred
