**Your new role**
This is a contract position initially lasting 12 months, working closely with a cross-functional team of R&D Scientists, Bioinformaticians, medics and statisticians to analyse large scale transcriptomic, NGS and other omics data sets and support drug discoveryand development efforts by suggesting novel targets and providing insights into biological data.
This position will be focused on several projects/areas, including new target identification and validation work within immunology & autoimmune diseases, and be part of a well-established and experienced bioinformatics team within the company's discovery anddevelopment section.
Main responsibilities will include:
- Hands-on analysis of omic and genetic/genomic data sets, especially transcriptomic & NGS data
- Using your biological / domain knowledge to provide insight into drug development projects, eg mechanism of action or disease pathophysiology
- Helping develop new scripts / tools / pipelines and approaches for R&D projects, either using classical computational biology approaches or potentially Machine Learning for predictive modelling
- Look for and implement new approaches for the group's R&D work, eg by incorporating new data sets
- Work closely with stakeholders across R&D, eg drug discovery and development team leads to advise on potential drug targets
- Provide insight and ideas on potential drug discovery strategies and approaches
- Hands-on programming in R and / or Python
**What you'll need to succeed**
- BSc/MSc/PhD (or equivalent experience) in bioinformatics, computational biology, data science, statistics or a relevant discipline.
- Track record of working with genomic, NGS or multi-omic data sets (ideally from clinical samples or drug discovery / development focused projects), with transcriptomic / RNAseq (either single cell or bulk) experience a distinct advantage
- Knowledge / experience of drug discovery or development, preferably within a pharmaceutical, biotech or CRO is preferred, but not essential
- Skilled in programming languages such as python or R.
- Experience using machine learning methods and statistical models is again a plus
- Strong communication skills with the proven ability to relay information effectively and efficiently, both to computational and experimental scientists.
- Experienced working collaboratively with teams on project work.
Experience / knowledge of autoimmune / immunology disease, such as joint / skin / bone inflammation would be an advantage but is not required
**What you'll get in return**
An exciting opportunity to work with an experienced team at the heart of an innovative biotech's drug discovery and development programme and have a real impact on future patients around the world.
The role offers a good pay rate and the chance to really develop your skills within a fast-paced R&D setting.
