In Roche's Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development organization (pRED), transformative medicines are made for patients to tackle some of the world's toughest unmet healthcare needs. pRED is recruiting a Scientist / Senior Scientist to the Systems Biology group, part of the Cardiometabolic, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, and Ophthalmology (CMI2O) Department, located in Basel, Switzerland. We are seeking a creative and talented team-member to support our understanding of disease mechanisms.
Scientist / Senior Scientist
Your tasks :
- Playing a leading role in developing in silico experimental design and operation of a data-driven research group
- Undertake rigorous advanced analytics exploration of data from disease areas of strategic relevance
- Reproducible reporting of emergent biological insights to stakeholders
- Facilitating access to enterprise data and analysis tools for non-data scientists
- Performing, customising, and / or developing computational analyses / algorithms for raw data from sequencing-based assays, such as whole genome / exome sequencing, single-cell and bulk RNA-seq, and other data types (e.g. proteomics, genome-wide phenotypic screens)
- Pre-processing of raw datasets, high-level analysis, and visualisation to enable interpretation and deduce new biological insights
- Analyse large-scale datasets in collaboration with members of the group and internal collaborators
- Validation and optimisation of emerging computational research tools
- Facilitating and supporting research collaborations with Roche experimental scientists
- Tool and application development and maintenance (e.g. Shiny)
- Development and implementation of novel and existing standardised workflows and pipelines
- Data management, standardised reporting, and maximising democratised access to data and analytics consistent with FAIR principles
Must Haves :
A PhD in a relevant disciplineA minimum of 5 years of postdoctoral experience, which may include professional experience within industry settingsAbility to move across scientific domains, diseases, and biological scales with creativityProgramming / scripting skills in R and / or Python is required. Working knowledge of Linux / Unix, with experience in data processing in an HPC cluster environment and basic understanding of computer systems administrationExperience of working alongside experimental 'wet-lab' scientists, and managing several concurrent projects with changing prioritiesStrong statistical, reporting, and data visualisation skills.
