YOUR IMPACTYou will work as a member of McKinsey's global scientific AI team to transform the way our clients do research and development in industries where scientific innovation is core to value creation.
You will help build and lead McKinsey's forward-looking capabilities to transform clients' innovation engines.
With your specific expertise at the intersection of oncology and artificial intelligence / machine learning (i.e., deep learning, causal inference, Bayesian modelling, and foundation models), you will bring distinctive medical knowledge to complex client Life Sciences R&D challenges through part-time staffing on client studies with a multi-disciplinary team.
You will drive proposal processes and participate in client negotiations by identifying end-to-end opportunities to transform Life Sciences R&D and architecting solutions that address specific client needs. You will advance the latest thinking in scientific AI and generate a steady stream of whitepapers, scientific publications and keynote speeches in top scientific and AI conferences and journals.
You will also establish an external network, play a lead role in external reputation building, and attract and retain junior colleagues by mentoring them to expand their scientific AI knowledge and impact.
