Job Description:
We are looking for a highly skilled candidate with expertise in machine learning/AI, computational statistics, and interactive/statistical visualization that is excited to advance the next generation of therapies and methods of drug discovery through knowledge-driven approaches. Techniques including unsupervised learning, causal inference, deep learning, time-series modeling, and probabilistic modeling will be used to address questions related to:
Additional Info:
The use of genomics and molecular biomarkers data in biopharmaceutical research and development is undergoing a phase of rapid transition. Large-scale integrated public datasets are increasingly available to contextualize human diseases and biology. Instead of analyzing individual experiment with a small number of samples, there is an opportunity to learn patterns of disease regulation and regulatory constraints from hundreds of thousands of observations or more. Alternatively, in some cases genomics data is increasingly paired with clinical, other biomarker, and genetics data. EEO & Employment Eligibility Pfizer is committed to equal opportunity in the terms and conditions of employment for all employees and job applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender identity or gender expression, national origin, disability or veteran status. Pfizer also complies with all applicable national, state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment as well as work authorization and employment eligibility verification requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act and IRCA. Pfizer is an E-Verify employer. Sunshine Act Pfizer reports payments and other transfers of value to health care providers as required by federal and state transparency laws and implementing regulations. These laws and regulations require Pfizer to provide government agencies with information such as a health care provider’s name, address and the type of payments or other value received, generally for public disclosure. Subject to further legal review and statutory or regulatory clarification, which Pfizer intends to pursue, reimbursement of recruiting expenses for licensed physicians may constitute a reportable transfer of value under the federal transparency law commonly known as the Sunshine Act. Therefore, if you are a licensed physician who incurs recruiting expenses as a result of interviewing with Pfizer that we pay or reimburse, your name, address and the amount of payments made currently will be reported to the government. If you have questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact your Talent Acquisition representative.
