Position Summary

This is a new position. You will join a cutting-edge Drug Development Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA) team to advance the global drug development process. We are looking for a candidate with strong computational, statistical, and biological capabilities and a demonstrated track record of translating complex, multi-modal data into testable hypotheses and actionable insights. This role brings together deep expertise in digital health data science , including wearable and sensor-derived longitudinal data, with broader contributions across genomics, proteomics, imaging, flow cytometry, and other biomarker data types generated from clinical trials.

As a hands-on individual contributor, you will drive exploratory analysis (both hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-driven) for scientific questions related to drug development and clinical study design. You will define approaches, processes, algorithms, and pipelines that support analytics, visualization, and decision support needs of drug development scientists and project teams, while collaborating closely with Biostatistics leads and cross-functional partners across the organization. We are looking for a hands-on, state-of-the-art practitioner.
