Bioinformatics Scientist - III (Senior) Pay $70-$90/hr based on experience

We are looking for a contractor with extensive experience in computational biology to fill a Senior Scientist role. If you have a strong foundation in analyzing transcriptomics and genetics data, along with a deep understanding of statistics and AI/ML, we'd love to hear from you. Your work will be instrumental in driving precision medicine and drug development by dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying immune-mediated diseases.

Responsibilities

Use computational and statistical methods to stratify patients and develop Companion Diagnostic algorithms. Conduct in-depth analyses to uncover the key biological functions and disease mechanisms driving disease subtypes. Contribute to accurately represent key disease states in model systems and other validation scenarios. Work closely with discovery immunology teams in the iterative process of validation of therapeutic candidates and/or mechanistic hypotheses. Summarize your findings and report conclusions to stakeholders.
