Summary of Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and intellectually curious Computational Biologist to join our Translational Bioinformatics group. Operating in a highly collaborative and dynamic environment this role is designed for a hands-on builder who thrives on high-quality biological data science that bridges biology and the clinic. You will serve as a vital technical partner translating raw data (genomics proteomics flow cytometry pathology) into actionable biological and clinical insights that drive our pipeline forward. The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of quantitative data science a strong foundation in oncology or immunology and a proven track record of writing clean scalable code to answer complex therapeutic questions.

Responsibilities and Job Duties:

• Multi-Omic Integration: Lead the technical execution and integration of diverse datasets across multiple pipelines. Manage data ingestion from external CROs and internal labs combining internal high-dimensional datasets (Flow Cytometry Digital Pathology) with large-scale molecular profiling data (Genomics Transcriptomics Proteomics).
• High-Performance Computing: Build scale and optimize processing pipelines within Cloud Computing to efficiently manage high-dimensional biomarker measurements.
• Provenance and reproducibility: Enforce strict version control containerization and rigorous documentation to ensure all analyses are fully reproducible auditable and transferable across the Translational Medicine team.
• Algorithmic Insight & Custom Analysis: Evaluate standard methodologies identify limitations and develop maintain or modify custom scripts and computational tools to address complex biological questions.
• Data Processing & Reporting: Translate raw complex multi-omic data into clear high-fidelity scientific data packages and executive-ready visualizations that support informed decision-making related to clinical programs and asset development. Build maintain and document robust reproducible code infrastructure to streamline data extraction enabling rapid-turnaround on cross-functional reporting.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Clinical Development Biostatistics and Translational Medicine colleagues to co-create data analysis strategies validate clinical hypotheses and design robust translational frameworks.
