Location: Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc. Salt Lake City, UT. Full time position NOTE: This is an early, unofficial job posting. Official job postings are found at www.myriad.com Overview: Myriad Genetic Laboratories is a leading molecular diagnostic company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Myriad offers predictive medicine tests that identify hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, hereditary colorectal and uterine cancer, and other hereditary cancer syndromes. DNA sequencing allows Myriad to detect these syndromes by identifying disease causing mutations in specific genes. However, not all genetic variants which are identified in DNA testing are disease causing. Initially, some variants are classified as "Genetic Variant of Uncertain Significance" until research shows whether or not the genetic variant is disease causing or benign. It is the role of Myriad's Variant Specialist Team to collect and analyze data so that these Genetic Variants of Uncertain Significance can be correctly classified in a clinical setting. The Variant Specialist Team is looking to hire an expert in structural biology. Unlike traditional Scientist I/II positions in biotechnology, the Clinical Variant Specialist is not likely to pursue lab bench work, but will apply his/her skills to reviewing literature and using molecular modeling and bio-informatics approaches to assist in better understanding the effects of genetic mutations. The Clinical Variant Specialist will work within a larger group of cross-disciplinary scientists and statisticians. Additionally, the Clinical Variant Specialist will work with clinician customers to assist in scientific understanding and in the coordination of research studies. Excellent communication skills are required. Attendance at professional meetings and publication opportunities are fostered. The clinical Variant Specialist will also work on a variety of projects across different non-science divisions within Myriad as a representative of the Variant Specialist Team. Qualifications: -Ph.D. in Biochemistry or a related field required, with emphasis in structural biology -Excellent written and verbal communication skills -Candidates with postdoctoral research experience or equivalent are preferred -Candidates with experience in protein-nucleic acid interactions and/or experience in cancer causing biological pathways are preferred How to apply: -Applications are to be formally made through http://www.myriad.com/careers/ when the position officially posts (likely in July 2012).
