CAREERS @ THE NEW YORK GENOME CENTER

The New York Genome Center (NYGC) is an independent, non-profit organization that leverages the collaborative resources of leading academic medical centers, research universities and commercial organizations. Our vision is to transform medical research and clinical care through the creation of one of the largest genomics facilities in North America; integrating sequencing, bioinformatics and data management, as well as performing cutting-edge genomics research.

Each faculty member of the NYGC leads a laboratory of post doctoral researchers, lab associates and scientific staff. They integrate their genomic expertise with the work that we are doing NYGC, working in collaborative research relationships both inside NYGC and with academic institutions. Our Faculty members hold joint appointments at our Institutional Founding Members while also managing their independent laboratories housed at the NYGC and conducting ground-breaking and collaborative genomic research.

We believe that every team member is crucial as NYGC works towards our mission, be it in a scientific, technical, or administrative position. Our administration team plays a huge role in driving transformative change in biomedical and clinical care. This group includes external affairs, finance, legal, business development, project management, sponsored research and facilities.

We are proud to boast a world-class bioinformatics and computational biology organization to support the cutting edge genomics research and integrated genomics services that we offer at NYGC. Our collaborative bioinformatics team is passionate about understanding and modeling human genetic variation and researching how it can be used to generate clinically actionable results.

This group develops and maintains the tools and infrastructure necessary to support our scientists as they tackle ground-breaking and large-scale data and genomic analysis. They are responsible for initiating and fostering external collaborations with technology partners, as well as ensuring that NYGC is a leader in the effective use of technology.

NYGC is committed to providing the most advanced sequencing an analysis possible. Our facility was designed to accommodate ever-improving technology, and we have more sequencing capacity than any other single institution in the Tri-State area. The Sequencing Operations group is responsible for understanding and interpreting sequencing and primary bioinformatics data, and is central to the transformative work of NYGC.

Our Software Engineers develop cutting edge tools to drive the services at NYGC. This team works closely with bioinformatics, sequencing lab, scientists, program management, and more to develop scientific applications for high-volume data processing, analysis and management.

Learn, grow and become part of the New York Genome Center team for a summer by participating in our 10-week paid internship program. Interns will have the opportunity to contribute towards the cutting-edge science being performed within our facilities. All interns will contribute towards a specific and meaningful project within their group which will culminate in an end-of-summer company presentation, ensuring our interns' professional and personal development. NYGC believes that our interns' summers should be both social and educational, and will offer a variety of lunch & learns, training seminars offered by team members across multiple functions of the organization, and organized social events.

Our Innovation Lab is currently testing several novel technologies with the potential to complement and enhance current technologies. Working with this group provides the opportunity to be on the cutting-edge of new technology and to perform innovative research that will shape the future of our industry.
