Job Description:
We seek a talented computational scientist who will work in a highly collaborative environment on the analysis, statistical modeling, and the generation of hypotheses from high-dimensional tissue, cell and molecular data. This position is expected to play a key scientific role, leveraging innovative computational analysis strategies and methods on rich patient data to empower data-driven decisions for development of drug programs and molecular biomarkers in Celgene’s clinical portfolio. Scientific activities associated with this position range from provision of deep insight into therapeutic mechanisms of action for existing and novel therapies in clinical development, identification of patient phenotypes associated with therapeutic effect and outcome in key indications, and development of molecular biomarker hypotheses for implementation into clinical trials as potential diagnostic tests. Data will originate from a wide range of cellular and molecular profiling platforms, including transcriptomic, proteomic, genomic, functional and immunophenotypic assays. This role offers opportunity to impact and accelerate the delivery of transformational therapies in key diseases of unmet medical need, particularly in lymphoid and myeloid diseases. Strong interest in the inter-disciplinary application of computational analysis methods to life sciences data is imperative. Responsibilities: Working in collaboration with computational, biological and clinical scientists across the Celgene Research & Early Development (R/ED) organization, responsibilities include but are not limited to:
