Oxford, United Kingdom Northreach Full time

Northreach is a dynamic recruitment agency that connects businesses with top talent in the Advanced Therapies sector. Our mission is to provide a seamless and personalised recruitment experience for clients and candidates, and to create a positive work environment that encourages equality, innovation, and professional growth.


Company Summary

My client is a leader in the field of antigen modulation through the inhibition of ERAP enzymes, critical components of the antigen presentation pathway. The Company has an ERAP1 inhibitor for immuno-oncology, currently in Phase I/II clinical trials. In addition, they have nominated a second ERAP1 inhibitor, expected to enter Phase I for autoimmune indications in 2025. The Company is also advancing a hit-to-lead program targeting ERAP2 and is actively exploring the translational potential of ERAP enzyme inhibition through antigen discovery programs, identifying novel ERAP1 inhibitor-generated antigens for future therapeutic targets, including TCRs and vaccines.


Role Summary

The Senior Bioinformatician will play a pivotal role in the conceptualization, design, and implementation of innovative data analysis strategies to advance the Company’s ERAP1 inhibitor-driven antigen discovery pipeline. The successful candidate will analyze extensive proprietary datasets, including immunopeptidomic, transcriptomic, and genomic data, to identify ERAP1 inhibitor-dependent targets for the development of MHC class I therapeutics. The candidate will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary scientific team, overseeing all aspects from in-silico antigen discovery to experimental validation.


Primary Responsibilities

  • Contribute to developing and maintaining high-quality nextflow pipelines for processing large-scale mass spectrometry data.
  • Define objectives and perform statistical analysis of data-dependent (DDA) and data-independent (DIA) immunopeptidomics assays.
  • Conduct analysis of parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) peptide assays.
  • Integrate antigen discovery workflows with transcriptomic and genomic data.
  • Leverage external resources and databases to enhance internal workflows and improve target prioritization.
  • Stay at the forefront of scientific advances in mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics and antigen presentation, including software and new methodologies.
  • Lead and manage analytical aspects of projects, including data preparation, analysis, and visualization.
  • Provide data-driven insights to inform experimental design.
  • Communicate research findings to both technical and non-technical audiences, internally and externally.


Support Functions

  • Act as a key member of the multidisciplinary core team to contribute to the company's overarching goals.
  • Participate in strategic discussions related to bioinformatics in R&D.
  • Assist in generating presentation materials for external communications.


Additional Responsibilities

  • Demonstrate leadership by adhering to and promoting company policies, including data security protocols.
  • Complete all required GXP/SOP training and comply with relevant SOP requirements.
  • Uphold and embody the company's values.


Experience & Skills

  • PhD (or equivalent experience) in bioinformatics, immunology, computational biology, or a related field.
  • In-depth knowledge of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data acquisition and processing, with familiarity in data-dependent and data-independent methods preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of machine learning and/or multivariate statistical modeling.
  • Proficiency in statistical programming and building statistical models.
  • Expertise in R or Python programming.
  • Extensive experience in large-scale bioinformatics analysis of omics data.
  • Proficient in Linux OS and shell scripting.
  • Experience with building and running analytical pipelines using NextFlow and Docker.
  • Ability to analyze, interpret, and record findings efficiently and in compliance with standards.
  • Strong communication skills, capable of conveying complex topics to diverse audiences.
  • Proven success working in multidisciplinary scientific teams (desirable).
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS) is a plus.
  • Deep understanding of antigen processing (desirable).
  • Prior research experience in an industrial setting (desirable).
  • Knowledge of molecular biology, cell biology, or immunology (desirable).
