Job Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated data scientist with expertise in transcriptomic or proteomic analysis (or a related computational biology skill) to join Vertex’s research site in Boston, MA. This position will be part of a growing global Computational Genomics function, and will provide key support for the new Chemical Biology function in our continuing efforts to find novel, innovative treatments for serious human diseases. You will report directly to the Sr. Director of the Computational Genomics group. A key task will be to integrate internal and public data from chemical and genetic screens, proteomics experiments, and transcriptome profiling to discover new targets or pathways, help understand mechanism of action, and propose new experimental directions in close collaboration with project teams, screening groups, and other data scientists. Strong collaboration and communication skills are therefore essential. #LI-BS1 Qualification:
