Job title:

Staff Computational Biologist – Oncology Drug Discovery

Company

Job description

We are building an interdisciplinary group centered on machine learning and inference-based discovery of drug programs from first principles. Close collaboration between computational biologists across multiple therapeutic areas (primarily oncology) and with data scientists on the core build teams provides a strong network of feedback and support in setting timelines, refining ideas, automating repetitive workflows, piloting, productionalizing and more. Our group is a bold, agile, diverse collective of biological, computational, drug discovery, and machine learning scientists deeply focused on the singular goal of bringing new therapeutics to patients at an accelerated pace. You will collaborate extensively with data scientists, chemists, engineers, commercial strategists, and biologists throughout the organization to advance milestones and provide insights to further advance Recursion’s capabilities. Essential attributes to this role include a bold, execution-first attitude and passion for deploying rigorous science to bring life-changing therapies to patients.The Experience You’ll Need

• PhD in a relevant field (computational biology, bioinformatics, statistics, quantitative pharmacology, cancer/cell biology, etc.) with 3+ years of experience applying professional competencies to fundamental problems in oncology or drug discovery
• Experience applying computational methods (including probabilistic, statistical, and/or machine learning techniques) to analyze complex biological and/or human clinical data.
• Fluency and experience working with high-level programming language such as Python or R for complex data analysis.
• General understanding of small molecule drug discovery and pharmacology.
• Efficiency in advancing drug-discovery projects, carrying and prioritizing among multiple projects and efficiently advancing projects to proof of concept.
• Experience in efficiently advancing drug program projects from proof of concept to preclinical Industry oncology drug discovery experience preferred.
• Bold, passionate and highly collaborative with experience working in cross-functional teams
• Ability to clearly explain computational analyses and methodologies to cross-functional and non-technical teams.
• Exceptional data visualization skills through creation of plots, documentation and presentations.
