About the position

We are on the hunt for a computational biology scientist with an emphasis on epigenomic analysis. This role involves formulating computational methods and conducting interpretative analyses integral to a variety of therapeutic applications relevant to the emerging wave of next gen precision medicines such as ADCs, RLTs, and immunotherapies and diagnostic applications. This is a unique opportunity for someone passionate about applying innovative methodologies to reveal key biological insights in patients. If you're intrigued by the prospect of joining an early-stage company with an experienced team operating at a rapid pace, and applying a novel platform to better understand and predict disease biology, this could be your perfect match.

Responsibilities

• Blend biological insights with computational techniques to develop predictive models with immediate clinical applications.
• Lead projects that bridge the biological understanding of disease-relevant systems with computational analyses to drive diagnostic innovation.
• Spearhead the analysis of novel epigenomic data and refine its clinical impact.
• Explore the biological underpinnings of numerous disease areas to produce biologically informed analyses that demonstrate significant endpoints.
• Create novel predictors with diagnostic relevance suitable for clinical use.
• Collaborate with various stakeholders in a cross-functional team that encompasses clinical, translational, computational, and product development.

Requirements

• Experience in using computational analyses of the epigenome to weave a compelling biological narrative.
• Comfortable presenting this narrative in a group setting.
• Excited by challenging problems and a fast-paced work environment.
• Thrives in startup culture, comfortable taking on new projects with minimal direction, and adaptive in response to feedback and evolving information.
• Proficient in either R (Bioconductor) or Python.
• Values diversity, learning from various perspectives, and working collaboratively on multidisciplinary teams.

Nice-to-haves

• All levels of experience are encouraged to apply, and the role will be set commensurate with your experience.
