AI Scientist/Senior, Clinical & Molecular Genomics Modeling, BRAID

The Opportunity Biological Research | AI Development (BRAID) is a team within AI Biology & Translation (AIBT) focused on developing state‑of‑the‑art AI methods to solve key challenges in disease biology, target discovery, and translational research. We are seeking a Scientist/Senior Scientist with a strong foundation in computational, statistical, and data science, and a passion for translating technical advances into biological and clinical impact. You will develop and define the specifics of modeling applications that empower our clinical trials. This role requires a deep understanding of how a model can fit into Genentech’s drug development lifecycle—including identifying users, determining data availability timelines, and understanding how decisions are made. You will work alongside clinical and translational research colleagues to ensure models directly improve their decision‑making processes. In this role, you will: Build New AI Models: Develop innovative models to enhance insights from outcome data and design interpretable ML frameworks. Connect Molecular and Clinical Data: Create models that link heterogeneous molecular and cellular data with clinical outcomes, specifically focusing on prognostic, predictive, and pharmacodynamic biomarkers. Master the Data: Integrate messy, heterogeneous data from internal and public cohorts into a unified, generalizable modeling framework. Influence Trial Design: Identify necessary data collection requirements for future trial designs to ensure modeling success. Deploy and Educate: Share and deploy these models with other computational users and clinical stakeholders to drive impact. Who you are Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related quantitative field. AI/ML Expertise: Proven experience building machine learning and AI models from scratch. Biological Data Proficiency: Hands‑on experience working with “messy” genomics data (e.g., aggregating dozens or hundreds of studies) and/or clinical datasets. Modern Engineering: Ability to effectively use agentic coding tools to improve the quality and quantity of code and modeling outputs.
