Role & responsibilities

• Construct an analytic framework by integrating perturbation, ontology and cellular phenotyping with molecular based datasets including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, to further enhance target evaluation, and patient stratification.
• Use multiple inference and ML methods linking molecular targets to disease states/characteristics, to associate targets with disease pathways, and to validate predicted mechanisms systematic on-/off-target toxicity predictions. These approaches require innovative computational methods such as network-based models, machine learning, and novel algorithmic approaches to mining biological data.
• Provide scientific technical expertise in modeling multimodal data (including genetic, transcriptomics, proteomic and functional data) to predict target pathway activity and synergistic effects.
• Apply or develop a wide variety of statistical modeling and AI/ML methods to analyze phenomic, multiomic and biobank level data to identify targets associated therapeutic with clinical and/or molecular segments and biomarkers associated with immune mediated diseases.
• Provide design and analysis consultation for questions of interest to our Immunology colleagues and facilitate interactions between colleagues across the organization.
• Translate findings from computational analyses to support functional, biological and pharmacological validation.

Job Qualifications

Required skills

• A Ph.D. in a quantitative field with a strong biological basis – Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Systems Biology, Statistical Genetics, or related fields.
• Completed PhD program.
• Experience with multi-omic data (RNA gene expression, proteomics, epigenomics, genetics) at both bulk and single cell level.
• Working knowledge of databases and analytic approaches associated with gene/pathway ontology, such as network analysis.
• Proficient in programming and computational skills and demonstrated ability to work with a group of scientists to deliver on objectives in defined timelines.
• Independent, self-motivated, innovative, and able to excel in a goal-oriented, multifaceted and fast-moving team environment.
• Outstanding communication, organizational and leadership skills, with a successful track record of publication and collaboration with cross-functional scientific teams.

Preferred skills

• Experience working with Immunology projects.
• Expertise in perturbation data and analysis.
• Experience with advanced analytical approaches (NLP, ML/AI, LLM) to extracting relevant sources of annotation of cellular states, functions and localization from unstructured data.
• Experience with predictive models associated with evaluation of target engagement and druggability.
• Experience with drug discovery and development practices and project support in a large pharmaceutical setting.
