Job Description:
We are seeking talented Computational Biologists to add to our collaborative, cross-functional research team focused on discovery of novel therapeutic targets and their development in our laboratories. Successful candidates will have demonstrated experience conducting creative and independent research analyzing a broad range of genomic data sets with an emphasis on understanding the underlying biology. What you'll do: -Extend existing target discovery efforts to incorporate additional data types and novel analysis methods -Work toward identifying clinically relevant disease subtypes and associated therapeutic targets -Contribute to ongoing therapeutic development program What you'll bring: -PhD in Statistics, Comptutational Biology or related field -Expertise in several of the following: linear and nonlinear modeling of statistical data, machine learning, genetics, transcriptomics and fine mapping of genetic association signals -Experience developing robust data analysis software -Strong communication skills, and a particular ability to communicate data analysis results to non-specialists -Demonstrated experience working on interdisciplinary teams -Strong knowledge of biology in at least one disease-relevant area (e.g. immunology, oncology, cardiovascular disease, etc.) Pluses: -Industry experience in pharmaceuticals or biotechnology -Strong publication record
Additional Info:
Who we are: Genetic testing makes it possible for each of us to understand our bodies in ways that were unimaginable only ten years ago. 23andMe continues to lead the way in making this information accessible, understandable and actionable for our customers, most of whom have consented to participate in research. This consumer-driven research model is powered by a wealth of genotypic and phenotypic information that has the potential to improve human health through advances in genomics. 23andMe's Therapeutics team is committed to discovering and developing new therapies that can offer significant benefits for patients with unmet needs. This dedicated research and drug development group identifies novel targets using the 23andMe genetic database, generates lead compounds for these targets and performs preclinical research to advance programs for clinical development. The team currently has research programs across several therapeutic areas, including oncology, skin, respiratory and cardiovascular disease.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
