Associate Director Your new companyAn exciting and innovative biotech developing the next generation of therapies are increasing their bioinformatics and statistical genetics / data science team to help drive forward their drug discovery and development programs.The company is using a variety of omics and NGS data to develop treatments that will radically transform the face of medicine and lead to significant impact for millions of patients.Your new roleYou will be leading projects related to the discovery and development of new cutting edge therapies, primarily through the analysis and interpretation of NGS and other patient data sets to identify and validate targets.This is a high-level hands-on role working as part of a cross-functional team, interacting closely with biologists, statisticians, bioinformaticians and clinical researchers.The position is currently home based. Major responsibilities will include:

  • Utilising a variety of computational and/or machine learning approaches for analysing large scale NGS and other datasets;
  • Biomarker / target identification & validation for drug discovery and development programmes;
  • Developing & optimising computational tools, pipelines, models and approaches
  • Analysing data from ongoing clinical trials
  • Project management, including setting timelines and milestones for areas such as generating and analysing genomic data;
  • Hands-on programming, eg in Python, R or similar;
  • Liaising with major stakeholders;
  • Working with molecular biologists to help interpret data and optimise experimental approaches;
