Bioinformatician / Data Scientist / Computational Biologist focused on RNA Therapeutics

About the Role Internal title: Senior Expert I/II, Data Science; Location: Cambridge, MA, onsite Key Responsibilities Provide computational, bioinformatic, and statistical support for research and early discovery of RNA therapeutics and RNA platform innovation. Provide bioinformatics support to xRNA pipeline/technology projects by collecting, analyzing, integrating in‑silico parameters, and screening/omics data to draw conclusions. Independently design, plan, execute, document, interpret, and report complex data analyses to drive decisions and set priorities. Stay current on field advances and influence introduction of novel/state‑of‑the‑art computational techniques. Collaborate in a matrix environment to address project needs and adapt to new technologies. Develop user‑friendly applications to make RNA data accessible to bench scientists. Communicate analyses to technical and non‑technical audiences. Lead or support development of innovative bioinformatics solutions with impact on next‑generation xRNA therapeutics biology/platform. Essential Requirements PhD in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology/Cheminformatics (or closely related) plus 2+ years post‑grad experience, or MS plus 6+ years relevant experience (preferably industry). Experience with next‑generation sequencing (Illumina short reads and/or PacBio/Oxford Nanopore long reads) and common analysis tools; ability to develop new pipelines/workflows. Strong knowledge in molecular biology, computational genomics, and transcription/post‑transcription gene regulation; RNA biology experience; oligonucleotide therapeutics discovery and/or gene therapy experience highly desired. Machine learning for predictive modeling. Proficiency in Python and R; scientific computing with Unix/HPC; software development practices (version control, testing, documentation). Strong oral/written communication; ability to multitask. Experience integrating/analyzing/visualizing multi‑omics and high‑throughput screening data; troubleshooting. Ability to monitor sequencing/genomics developments and propose workflow improvements. Desired Requirements Oligonucleotide chemistry knowledge and RNA structure modeling. Experience in lab automation and data management. #J-18808-Ljbffr Scorpion Therapeutics
