This role will involve analyzing large-scale sequencing datasets developing computational pipelines and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to generate biological insights that support drug discovery.

Key Responsibilities
  • Analyze and interpret large-scale single-cell sequencing datasets (scRNA-seq) generated from high-content perturbation experiments.
  • Develop and optimize computational workflows for Perturb-seq CROP-seq Sci-Plex and other sequencing-based functional genomics studies.
  • Apply statistical and computational methods to identify biological mechanisms therapeutic targets and treatment responses.
  • Collaborate with biologists chemists computational scientists and cross-functional research teams to translate complex data into actionable insights.
  • Develop reproducible data analysis pipelines using Python and bioinformatics tools.
  • Perform quality control data integration visualization and statistical analysis of large-scale genomics datasets.
  • Integrate multimodal datasets including single-cell genomic and clinical data to support research and therapeutic development.
  • Present findings through scientific reports presentations and collaborations with internal research teams.
  • Maintain well-documented reproducible computational workflows and contribute to continuous process improvements.
Required Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in Computational Biology Bioinformatics Computer Science Statistics Mathematics or a related quantitative life science discipline.
  • Proven experience analyzing large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets.
  • Strong programming skills in Python for scientific computing and data analysis.
  • Solid background in statistics probabilistic modeling and computational data analysis.
  • Experience working with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and genomics datasets.
  • Excellent analytical communication and problem-solving skills.
