Full Job Description
We seek a creative and passionate computational biologist to join the Neuroscience, Immunology, and Cardiovascular (NIC) discovery team within Informatics and Predictive Sciences, a globally distributed group driving innovative computational research for discovery and early development. In this role, you will apply your analytical skills to single cell, multi-omics, spatial profiling as well as gene perturbation datasets generated from both patients and model organisms. You will work as part of a cross-functional team focused on Neuroscience, Immunology and Cardiovascular early pipeline programs. In so doing, you will contribute to the discovery of targets and compounds that directly address unmet medical need in patients within NIC space. Location: Cambridge, MA ; no fully remote option Responsibilities • Perform computational research and integrative analyses on multimodal biological profiling datasets (e.g. transcriptomic, proteomics, single cell omics, spatial profiling) that you help to design together with wet lab scientists to support early pipeline programs • Apply machine learning, and other advanced computational/ statistical approaches, to compare high-dimensional experimental readouts from perturbation experiments/screens (e.g. CRISPR screens, perturb-seq, cellular imaging) to disease states defined by patient data and work as part of a cross-functional team to nominate and validate new targets for Neuro, Cardiovascular and Autoimmune diseases indications • Work with external partners in industry, academia, and pre-competitive collaborations (e.g. NIH Accelerating Medicines Partnership) on novel computational and experimental approaches • Communicate findings and recommend follow-up actions in multiple settings (including 1:1, seminars, and team meetings) Basic Qualifications • PhD from a recognized institution in a quantitative field such as computational biology, computational genomics/genetics, computer science, statistics, mathematics, or other related discipline and 5+ years of post-graduate experience • Advanced hands-on knowledge of at least one high-level programming language such as R or Python for computational research and reproducible research practices Preferred Qualifications • 5+ years of post-graduate experience in computational biology research (biopharma industry preferred) with track record (such as scientific publications) in driving and advancing research projects/programs with computational approaches • Hands on experience analyzing and integrating high-dimensional molecular datasets such as multi-omics (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, proteomics, ChIP-seq/CUT&RUN), single cell profiling (CITE-seq, scATAC-seq, perturb-seq) and/or spatial profiling to derive novel biological insights • Strong quantitative skills, with hand on experience implementing and/or developing statistical methodologies and machine learning algorithms (such as single cell foundation models ) applied to the biological problems • Background in human disease biology, especially in areas of autoimmune diseases strongly preferred • Experience applying computer vision models to cellular imaging data preferred • Experience utilizing and applying AI agent such as claude coding to accelerate workflow preferred • Scientific curiosity with an ability of self-learning • Strong oral and written communication skills If you come across a role that intrigues you but doesn't perfectly line up with your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway. You could be one step away from work that will transform your life and career.

All global employees full and part-time who are actively employed at and paid directly by BMS at the end of the calendar year are eligible to take advantage of the Global Shutdown. *Eligibility Disclosure: The summer hours program is for United States (U.S.) office-based employees due to the unique nature of their work. Summer hours are generally not available for field sales and manufacturing operations and may also be limited for the capability centers. Employees in remote-by-design or lab-based roles may be eligible for summer hours, depending on the nature of their work, and should discuss eligibility with their manager. Employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement should consult that document to determine if they are eligible. Contractors, leased workers and other service providers are not eligible to participate in the program. On-site Protocol BMS has an occupancy structure that determines where an employee is required to conduct their work. This structure includes site-essential, site-by-design, field-based and remote-by-design jobs. The occupancy type that you are assigned is determined by the nature and responsibilities of your role: Site-essential roles require 100% of shifts onsite at your assigned facility. Site-by-design roles may be eligible for a hybrid work model with at least 50% onsite at your assigned facility. For these roles, onsite presence is considered an essential job function and is critical to collaboration, innovation, productivity, and a positive Company culture. For field-based and remote-by-design roles the ability to physically travel to visit customers, patients or business partners and to attend meetings on behalf of BMS as directed is an essential job function.
