Bioinformatics Scientist

About the role

The Bioinformatics Scientist will work under the Bioinformatics Senior Principal Investigator, focusing on complex experimental and clinical bioinformatics data sets to support drug discovery and development pipelines.

Key responsibilities

• Execute bioinformatics studies in collaboration with R&D wet‑lab scientists, clinical teams and other bioinformaticians across multiple priority areas.
• Communicate results in R&D and corporate meetings, and prepare abstracts, manuscripts and presentations for conferences.
• Recommend data capture technologies and pre‑clinical models by liaising with external stakeholders and vendors.
• Implement and validate new analytical advances using reproducible workflows (markdown, R/Python env locks, Git, Nextflow, Snakemake, Docker, Conda).
• Review and improve existing large‑scale Omics analysis pipelines, integrating ML/AI for scalable, predictive modeling.
• Apply statistical and AI predictive models to wet‑lab experiments within drug discovery pipelines.
• Prepare reports, presentations, abstracts and manuscripts following documentation and data integrity standards.

Required profile

• Ph.D. or equivalent experience in biology, chemistry or bioinformatics with strong expertise in -Omics data analysis (bulk/single‑cell/spatial transcriptomics, WES, epigenomics, metabolomics, proteomics) in preclinical and clinical disease models.
• Experience using machine learning/AI tools for -Omics, single‑cell atlases, clinical disease modeling or drug development pipelines.
• Strong understanding of cell biology, including biochemistry, cell signaling, replication, transcription and translation processes.

Required skills

• Proficiency in R and Python programming.
• Experience with cloud computing environments.
• Development of user‑facing visualization tools (Shiny, Plotly, Quarto).
• Workflow management tools (Nextflow, Snakemake).
• Containerization and environment management (Docker, Conda, Git).
• Machine learning and AI integration for Omics data.

What we offer

• Base salary range $110,000‑$120,000 DOE.
• Annual performance incentive bonus and new‑hire equity package.
• Medical, dental, vision insurance, 401(k) match, PTO and paid holidays.
