Position Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Genomic Precision Medicine Specialist to leverage advanced human genetics insights aimed at enhancing trial success and facilitating human-genetics driven precision medicine for Rare Diseases.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide expert human genetic support to project teams engaged in advancing therapies through the drug development pipeline.
- Collaborate closely with colleagues to pinpoint opportunities where genetics can inform strategic decisions, such as indication selection, target population identification, and understanding adverse effects.
- Integrate genetic data with other omics disciplines—proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and epigenetics—to deepen understanding and tailor treatment responses.
- Utilize trial data in conjunction with genetic insights to guide decision-making and identify populations most likely to benefit from the treatments developed by our scientists.
You will be expected to initiate and lead your own projects while also contributing your expertise to ongoing initiatives within the Human Genetics Centre of Excellence (CoE). Our research environment is collaborative, allowing you to work alongside statistical geneticists, clinicians, and computational and laboratory scientists from various sectors of the organization and external partners, all aimed at delivering the right treatment to the right patient.
Qualifications:
We invite applications from candidates who possess a strong team-oriented mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment that encourages creative independence and knowledge sharing. A keen interest in applying your expertise within the realm of drug development is essential.
We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with:
- A Ph.D. in human genetics, statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, pharmacogenomics, or related fields, with significant contributions to high-impact scientific literature.
- Several years of postdoctoral experience in the genetics of rare diseases, preferably in rare blood and/or endocrine disorders.
- Proficiency in high-performance computing systems and programming languages for analyzing large-scale datasets, such as R or Python.
- Experience working with large-scale genetic datasets and GWAS, including marker-trait and gene-trait associations.
- Strong communication skills to convey insights and present concepts to diverse audiences.
- A self-motivated approach and the ability to collaborate effectively within interdisciplinary teams.
Experience with omics data handling (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics) is advantageous, as is professional or postdoctoral experience in analyzing clinical trial data within academia or the biotech/pharma industry.
About the Department:
You will join our Translational Genomics & Precision Medicine Department, part of the Human Genetics Centre of Excellence (CoE), led by Vice President, Joanna Howson PhD. The CoE focuses on utilizing data science and human genetics to discover and develop new drug targets and biomarkers through various human-centric methodologies.
The CoE is integrated within the newly established Digital Science & Innovation (DSI) organization, which supports the digital transformation across all therapy areas. In DSI, we collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, engaging in drug development projects from early discovery to pre-clinical stages, while ensuring access to the latest research and technological advancements.
Working at Novo Nordisk:
We are a dedicated life-science company, driven by our commitment to improving lives. Our mission is to empower individuals to lead lives free from chronic diseases through groundbreaking scientific research and innovation.
Application Process:
We encourage interested candidates to submit their applications through our careers site, as we do not accept direct resumes.
Commitment to Diversity:
At Novo Nordisk, we are committed to fostering an inclusive recruitment process and providing equal opportunities for all applicants. We recognize that our strength lies in the diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and cultures of our employees, and we strive to create a culture that celebrates this diversity.
