The Data Sciences department within Janssen Research & Development IT is looking for an outstanding Scientist interested in designing, developing, and fielding data mining solutions that have direct impact to patients. Our IT department spans across the entire value chain at Janssen Pharmaceuticals from discovery to post-launch. This will enable the scientist to work with various business units to help identify viable data mining opportunities and then conceive, develop and implement end-to-end data analytical solutions.

The Scientist will be someone who stays on the cutting edge of data mining research, engaging in novel research to influence decisions at various levels across the organization.

Real world evidence (RWE), the analysis of electronic medical records, hospital and insurance data, will be a major focus for Janssen in the coming years. The Scientist will apply and leverage technology-driven analytics (e.g., NLP, artificial intelligence/machine learning, semantics) in advancing RWE projects at Janssen. Experience with real world data in that context is a plus. Generally, the role requires an excellent statistical background coupled with broad knowledge of existing data mining algorithms, and also the creativity to invent and customize when necessary.

The ideal candidate will be part of a dynamic, accomplished data sciences team that will support multiple therapeutic areas in the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative medicines. The Scientist will partner with colleagues to develop, implement, and apply state-of-the art scientific algorithms and methods for project teams. Will invent and implement creative solutions that go beyond current tools to deliver best solutions to the problems. Will participate in project teams, elicit needs, and act in a primary role as a trusted primary business and scientific partner.
