Job DescriptionScientist, Integrated Computational and Experimental Inflammation DiscoveryWhat you will doLet's do this. Let's change the world. In this vital role you will contribute to Inflammation discovery programs by planning and coordinating project tasks, generating and interpreting high-quality experimental data, and applying computational and AI-enabled approaches to deepen our understanding of disease biology, refine therapeutic hypotheses and support target discovery.
Working with minimal supervision, you will manage defined program components, develop an area of scientific expertise, and communicate data-driven insights that help advance project decisions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Plan and coordinate defined project tasks and activities that support target identification, validation, and progression of Inflammation discovery programs.
- Design, execute, analyze, and interpret bench/wet lab studies to investigate disease mechanisms and test therapeutic hypotheses with scientific rigor and appropriate urgency.
- Apply computational, AI-enabled, and data-analytic approaches to generate mechanistic insights, refine experimental design, and integrate findings across data sources.
- Integrate experimental results with published literature, human genetics, clinical observations, and internal or external datasets to inform ongoing project design.
- Develop and optimize solutions to technical problems of advanced scope and complexity within an emerging area of expertise.
- Collaborate across functions and departments, contributing at the project-team level and building constructive relationships with wet-lab, computational, translational, and drug-discovery partners.
- Organize, interpret, document, and present project data and scientific recommendations within work groups, project teams, and internal scientific forums.
- Coach or guide others within the work group or project team where appropriate, and contribute to a collaborative culture of scientific curiosity, knowledge sharing, and operational excellence.
