Experienced Scientist - Human Data & Target Discovery

At Gubra, we are expanding our Drug Discovery Innovation capabilities with a strengthened focus on integrating human data, computational approaches, and disease biology into early discovery.

We believe the next generation of therapeutic breakthroughs will come from combining deep biological understanding with large-scale human datasets, translational insight, and innovative target discovery approaches.

This role offers a unique opportunity to help shape Gubra's next-generation discovery engine by strengthening how we identify, prioritize, and advance novel therapeutic opportunities across cardiometabolic disease, inflammation & immunology, and age-related diseases.

You will have significant scientific influence and contribute both to discovery programs and to the development of scalable and innovative approaches across early discovery.

Your new department

Drug Discovery Innovation (DDI) is at the forefront of Gubra's efforts to build the next generation of early therapeutic discovery.

The department combines expertise across disease biology, translational science, computational discovery, and early therapeutic research to identify and advance novel therapeutic opportunities within cardiometabolic disease, inflammation & immunology, and age-related diseases.

As part of Gubra's strengthened focus on pipeline innovation and early discovery, DDI plays a central role in shaping discovery strategies, driving target identification efforts, and building scalable, data-driven discovery capabilities.

We work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment where scientific curiosity, translational thinking, and innovation are central to how we discover and advance new therapeutic opportunities.

The role

As an experienced Scientist, you will work at the interface of biology, human data, and early drug discovery to identify and prioritize novel therapeutic targets.

You will play a central role in translating large-scale human datasets, omics analyses, and computational insights into actionable biological hypotheses and discovery opportunities.

Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will help strengthen Gubra's data-driven discovery capabilities and contribute to innovative approaches for target identification and evaluation.

The level of the position will be matched to the qualifications and experience of the candidate.

Your responsibilities

* Drive discovery campaigns focused on identifying and advancing novel therapeutic targets

* Leverage human genetics, omics datasets, and public databases to strengthen target prioritization and mechanistic understanding

* Integrate disease biology, translational insights, and competitive intelligence to define target hypotheses and assess opportunities and risks

* Collaborate across scientific disciplines to support early validation and progression of target concepts

* Deliver clear scientific recommendations to support data-driven decision-making

* Contribute to the development of scalable computational and data-driven approaches for target discovery and prioritization

* Establish and maintain productive external scientific collaborations where relevant

Your profile

You hold a PhD in life sciences and bring experience from biotech and/or pharmaceutical drug discovery environments.

In addition, you will likely:

* Have 5+ years of experience within target identification and early drug discovery

* Have hands-on experience applying human data, omics, and computational approaches in therapeutic discovery

* Bring strong disease biology expertise within cardiometabolic disease, inflammation & immunology, and/or age-related diseases

* Be able to independently drive scientific initiatives and target evaluations

* Thrive in collaborative and interdisciplinary environments

* Possess strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills

Experience translating complex human datasets into actionable biological insights and therapeutic hypotheses is considered an advantage.
