Innovative Medicine (JJIM) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar to
work within the Population Analytics & Insights group (Data
Sciences organization) on drug target identification and evaluation
to support alignment of priorities with the Immunology therapeutic
area. The primary location for this position is Spring House, PA,
USA. The Data Science Analytics & Insights organization develops
innovative solutions using a variety of data sources across
multiple different disease areas. We are looking for a highly
motivated and self-driven individual who will creatively analyze
large-scale clinical, genetic, omics and cell phenotype data to
advance our drug discovery pipeline in R&D. At J&J, we
strive to bring in the brightest minds in pursuit of developing
effective and safe therapeutics for patients around the globe. Role
& responsibilities: Construct an analytic framework by integrating
perturbation, ontology and cellular phenotyping with molecular
based datasets including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, to
further enhance t arget evaluation, and patient stratification. Use
multiple inference and ML methods linking molecular targets to
disease states/characteristics, to associate targets with disease
pathways, and to validate predicted mechanisms systematic
on-/off-target toxicity predictions. These approaches require
innovative computational methods such as network-based models,
machine learning, and novel algorithmic approaches to mining
biological data. Provide scientific technical expertise in modeling
multimodal data (including genetic, perturbation and functional
data) to predict qualities and liabilities associated with on- and
off-target treatment effects. Apply or develop a wide variety of
statistical modeling and AI/ML methods to analyze phenomic,
multiomic and biobank level data to identify targets associated
therapeutic with clinical and/or molecular segments and biomarkers
associated with immune mediated diseases. Provide design and
analysis consultation for questions of interest to our Immunology
colleagues and facilitate interactions between colleagues across
the organization. Translate findings from computational analyses to
support functional, biological and pharmacological validation. Work
cooperatively with different teams in Data Sciences and Therapeutic
Discovery teams to implement NLP or related approaches to annotate
targets, biomarkers and networks to complement classifier
construction. Job Qualifications: A Ph.D. in a quantitative field –
Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Systems Biology, Statistical
Genetics, or related fields is required. Completed PhD program is
required. Experience with multi-omic data (RNA gene expression,
proteomics, epigenomics, genetics) at both bulk and single cell
level is required. Experience with Immunology is preferred. Working
knowledge of databases and analytic approaches associated with
gene/pathway ontology, such as network analysis, is preferred.
Expertise in perturbation data and analysis is preferred.
Experience with advanced analytical approaches (NLP, ML/AI, LLM) to
extracting relevant sources of annotation of cellular states,
functions and localization from unstructured data is preferred.
Experience with predictive models associated with evaluation of
target engagement and druggability is preferred. Proficient in
programming and computational skills and demonstrated ability to
work with a group of scientists to deliver on objectives in defined
timelines, are required. Independent, self-motivated, innovative,
and able to excel in a goal-oriented, multifaceted and fast-moving
team environment are required. Experience with drug discovery and
development practices and project support in a large pharmaceutical
setting are preferred. Outstanding communication, organizational
and leadership skills, with a successful track record of
publication and collaboration with cross-functional scientific
teams are required. Johnson & Johnson is an Equal Opportunity
