Senior Scientist in Genetics

1 month ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom Novo Nordisk Full time

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Scientist in Genetics to join our team at Novo Nordisk. As a key member of our Translational Genomics and Precision Medicine Department, you will play a crucial role in implementing cutting-edge human genetics insights to support precision medicine across our therapeutic areas of interest.

In this role, you will analyze large-scale genetics data from biobanks and integrate with other omics to generate hypotheses regarding novel drug targets and patient stratification. You will work closely with colleagues to identify areas where genetics can help guide decision making, such as indication selection and adverse effects.

You will also analyze trial data with genetics to inform decision making and identify populations that will respond best to the treatments developed by our scientists. As a member of our Human Genetics Centre of Excellence, you will work alongside statistical geneticists, clinicians, and computational and laboratory scientists from across the organisation, and with external collaborators, to help get the right treatment to the right patient.

The ideal candidate holds a Ph.D. in human genetics, statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, pharmacogenomics, or other related fields. You will have a good team ethic, pay close attention to detail, and enjoy a fast-paced, dynamic environment where creative intellectual independence and knowledge sharing is actively encouraged.

You will have some years of post-doctoral experience with approaches for marker-trait and gene-trait association (GWAS, PheWAS, TWAS, QTL mapping, Mendelian randomization, etc.). You will have knowledge and experience of data-driven methods to characterize multimorbidity and a general understanding of the biology and pathophysiology underpinning common cardiometabolic diseases.

You will possess knowledge of, and experience using programming languages, for analysis of large-scale datasets, e.g., R, Python, or similar. You will have experience of communicating insights and presenting concepts to a diverse audience. You will be self-driven and work well in interdisciplinary teams.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including a bonus scheme, pension, wellness program, and private medical insurance. We are an equal opportunities employer and commit to an inclusive recruitment process and equality of opportunity for all our job applicants.
