DESCRIPTION

As a Field Bioinformatics Scientist (FBS) at Thermo Fisher Scientific, you'll combine scientific expertise, bioinformatics knowledge and customer engagement to support customers using our Microarray and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) products and services. Based in Taipei, Taiwan, you'll work closely with customers across the region, providing technical and scientific support while partnering with the Sales team to strengthen existing relationships and develop new opportunities.

Day to day, you'll engage with customers to understand their research goals, recommend appropriate bioinformatics solutions and workflows, and help them address complex data analysis and application challenges. You'll provide scientific consultation, technical presentations, product demonstrations and training, translating complex genomic data and technologies into practical insights that help customers move their research forward.

You'll also collaborate closely with Sales and cross-functional teams, bringing scientific expertise into customer discussions and supporting opportunities from technical evaluation through implementation and ongoing adoption. By understanding customer needs and emerging research trends, you'll help identify new opportunities, strengthen long-term partnerships and contribute to business growth.

Success in this role requires scientific curiosity, strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to different audiences. You'll thrive in a dynamic, customer-focused environment where you can work independently while collaborating with colleagues to solve challenging scientific problems and support advances in Microarray and NGS applications.
