SCIENTIST, COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY

Innova Solutions has a client that is immediately hiring for a Scientist- Computational Biology.

Position type: Full-time- Contract
Duration: 06 Months
Location: San Diego, CA

As a Scientist- Computational Biology you will:

• Target Antigen Discovery: Lead efforts to identify and validate novel antigen targets for radiopharmaceutical therapy in oncology through integration of multi-omics data, including RNA sequencing, proteomics, and genomics.
• Bioinformatics Analysis: Design and implement novel analytical frameworks to process, visualize and interpret high throughput sequencing and multiplex flow cytometry data from pre-clinical experiments, Real-World cohorts and internal clinical trial data to validate pharmacodynamics effects, confirm the mechanism of action, and enable patient enrichment strategies.
• Collaboration: Work closely with computational biology colleagues, and engage with cross-functional teams, including discovery, translational, and clinical scientists, to provide bioinformatics expertise and guidance on experimental design.
• Interpretation of Results: Generate hypothesis based on the analyses and present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, providing actionable insights to inform radiopharmaceutical discovery and enable data-driven decision-making.
• Oncology Expertise: Apply oncology expertise to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer and therapeutic resistance, particularly in relation to radiopharmaceutical therapy.

The ideal candidate will have:

• PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Cancer Biology, or a related field with 3+ of relevant industry experience.
• Expertise in bioinformatics tools and software for RNA-seq, proteomics, and other omics data analysis.
• Individual contributor role requiring strong background in -omic (DNA, RNA, epigenetic, proteomic) data analysis, biological interpretation and large-scale data analysis, particularly in oncology.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, and/or Perl, and experience with bioinformatics software and platforms.
• Strong experience in statistical modeling and/or machine learning approaches, such as mixed-effects models, predictive modeling, etc. to represent biological concepts.
• Experience with clinical database (SDTM/ADaM) and biomarker statistical analysis is a plus.
• Strong understanding of cancer biology, especially in the context of targeted therapies and/or radiopharmaceuticals.
• A strong track record of publications or contributions to impactful research.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with immune-oncology and radiopharmaceuticals.
• Familiarity with cloud-based platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud) for large-scale data analysis.
• Knowledge of machine learning techniques and their applications in bioinformatics.

Thank you!
