Job Description

The Precision Medicine Immunology department isseekinga highly motivated and talented Scientist with a background in immunology or immuno-oncology and experience in single-cell or spatial genomics, molecular biology, and cell biology to join the Translational Research team. This individual will provide leadership in clinical biomarker discovery by profiling clinical samples using single-cell and spatial omics approaches to better understand drug mechanism of action and pharmacodynamics, while driving data-informed patient selection strategies. The role will support drug development programs across inflammatory and autoimmune disease areas, including Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, and Fibrosis, from late-stage discovery through clinical trials. The successful candidate will join a growing translational research group and collaborate with cross-functional teams both internally and externally.

Key Responsibilities

  • Independently lead the design, execution, and analysis of complex genomic profiling experiments, including single-cell RNA-Seq, CITE-Seq, and spatial transcriptomics/proteomics.

  • Perform image analysis tasks for spatial transcriptomics and proteomics datasets, including de-array and alignment for multi-omics integration, cellsegmentationand phenotyping.

  • Design, develop and implement computational pipelines for processing and analyzing spatial omics datasets, including spatial transcriptomics and proteomics.

  • Proactivelyidentifytechnical artifacts, interpret quality control results,optimizeassay performance, and ensure high quality and reproducible data delivery ontimelydeadlines.

  • Stay at the forefront of the single-cell and spatial genomics field by surveying, evaluating,testingandvalidatingnovel scientific methodologies.

  • Expertisein executing spatial omics experiments usingCosMx, Xenium, andVisiumplatforms, integrated with deepexpertisein molecular pathology techniques such as IHC and ISH

  • Proficient in the integrative analysis of multi-dimensional datasets using bioinformatics tools such as R and Python.

  • Skilled in using advanced image analysis platforms, such asVisiopharmand HALO, to derive quantitative biological insights from tissue-based assays.

  • Familiarity with cloud-based architectures (AWS) and high-performance computing (HPC) environments for processing large-scale genomic data.

  • Experience applying machine learning frameworks and sophisticated data visualization tools to interpret complex biological patterns.

  • Strong project leadership and organizational skills, with a demonstrated ability to prioritize tasks andallocateresources to meet aggressive timelines.

  • Experienced in managing CROs and external collaborators while working seamlessly with multi-functional internal teams in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
