Exploratory Biomarker Data Scientist Full-time

Senior Expert I Or Senior Expert II

Our innovative neuroscience disease area is looking for a data scientist or computational biologist, based at our San Diego site, with expertise in biomarker data analysis. This key role will join a team developing novel approaches in genetic medicine to tackle medical challenges and improve patient outcomes. The successful candidate should be able to integrate, analyze, and interpret large biomedical datasets using various computational tools. If this sounds like you, don't miss out on this opportunity!

Key responsibilities:

• Applying established and novel approaches to model multi-modal clinical or pre-clinical data to identify biomarkers predictive of disease progression and treatment response, and to nominate novel therapeutic target hypotheses
• Work with wet lab scientists to develop testable biological hypotheses and collaborate in designing rigorous preclinical experiments
• Collaborate with other data scientists and be a subject matter expert in analyzing data from tissue and biofluids
• Analyze proteomics, transcriptomics or related data from clinical, in-vivo or in-vitro studies

Essential requirements:

• Senior Expert I: Ph.D. with 2 or more years of experience (ideally in industry) in computational biology, genomics, biological sequence design, or related fields. Senior Expert II 3+ years of industry experience in computational biology, genomics biological sequence design or related fields.
• Experience in programming with Python and/or R
• Experience in processing and analyzing proteomics (Somascan, Olink, MS-based, or similar)
• Solid understanding or pathways, systems biology, biological networks
• Experience in cellular / molecular biology
• Ability to understand inter-species variations
• Experience in neuroscience is highly preferred

Preferred requirements:

• Experience in analyzing transcriptomics (bulk, single cell, spatial), knowledge of splicing
• Experience with experimental design
