Job Description:
We are seeking a data scientist to join the Chemical Biology and Therapeutics (CBT) group in NIBR to help us develop and deliver cutting edge therapies to benefit patients. The bioinformatics scientist position plays a key role in an interdisciplinary team of wet-lab biologists, physician scientists, and computational scientists to develop mechanistic hypotheses addressing unmet medical needs. The role will have a particular emphasis developing therapies derived from microbiome research programs, which are a part of the broader CBT discovery portfolio in which the successful candidate will participate. This position will focus on a wide range of applications leveraging large scale data from model systems and human genetic/genomic studies to generate testable therapeutic hypotheses, including the nomination of biomarker and target hypotheses. The successful data science candidate will work closely with CBT biologists to provide informatics systems to support the exploratory research and drug discovery process. The ideal candidate must demonstrate a proven ability to work collaboratively to provide high quality research and have hands on experience in bioinformatics. Key responsibilities include:
