At Basecamp Research we are exploring and sampling diverse biomes from all around the world to build a knowledge graph of nature to find novel biomolecules relevant to many industries and to build a diverse foundational dataset for AI biology applications. All of this is done in accordance to the UN Nagoya Protocol and all samples collected are under access benefit sharing (ABS) agreements with local landowners or nature parks/governments (www.ft.com/content/f93938da-353f-474b-ae1e-1e2645e26886).

We are looking for a genomics bioinformatician to join the data science and genomics team to help us achieve the goal of building the largest and most comprehensive biodiversity knowledge store.
The endeavour will explore biodata collected from around the world often in unexplored locations and biomes where a majority of the data will be unknown, unannotated and constitute a large part of the undiscovered “microbial dark matter”. Tapping into this undiscovered information at Basecamp Research is leading to tremendous opportunities in both expanding basic understanding of biology but also building out tools (both traditional and AI) that will enhance biodiscovery and shape the world of human health and industry. An example of this can be found by a blog entry (developer.nvidia.com/blog/breakthrough-in-functional-annotation-with-hifi-nn/) written by our collaborator NVIDIA (Basecamp Research is an NVIDIA inception member).
The successful candidate will take ownership, expand and manage our sequencing and metagenomic data analysis production operations. They will have the opportunity to investigate new methods to maximize the curation and annotation of the microbial dark matter. This will be a strong collaborative role working closely with all teams at all data collection and analysis points. This will include but not limited to our biodiversity partners, field scientists, sequencing ops, ML scientists and commercial stakeholders.
