Senior Scientist, Integrated Computational and Experimental Inflammation Discovery

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will help advance Inflammation discovery programs by leading scientific activities within project teams, generating rigorous experimental and computational evidence, and applying innovative technologies to deepen disease understanding and inform therapeutic hypotheses. Working independently and under minimal direction, you will contribute to target program teams and technology/capability development by iterating between bench experimentation and computational workflows.

You will coordinate team efforts, develop subject-matter expertise, and deliver data-driven recommendations that influence project and program direction.

• Independently design, execute, analyze, and interpret bench/wet-lab experiments that address critical biological questions, test therapeutic hypotheses, and support target identification, validation, and progression.
• Apply advanced experimental, computational, AI-enabled, and data-analytic approaches to generate mechanistic insight, improve experimental design, and integrate findings across data sources.
• Develop decision criteria and provide evidence-based recommendations for target and program go/no-go decisions.
• Lead activities within work groups and project teams, coordinating contributions from multiple disciplines to achieve program objectives.
• Develop and implement novel scientific approaches, technologies, and workflows that improve efficiency, rigor, translational relevance, and probability of success in discovery programs.
• Build expertise in small- and large-molecule drug discovery and apply this knowledge to support high-caliber biological research and therapeutic strategy in Inflammation.
• Proactively develop and optimize solutions to complex scientific or technical problems within area of expertise using ingenuity, creativity, and current scientific knowledge.
• Coach and provide scientific or technical guidance to colleagues within work groups and project teams, contributing to a connected, inclusive culture of scientific excellence.
• Organize, interpret, adapt, and communicate project data and scientific recommendations across projects, functions, and internal scientific forums; contribute to external scientific communications where appropriate.
• Contribute to scientific publications, presentations, patents, technical reports, and other documents that expand organizational knowledge and advance portfolio impact.

We are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients. The Senior Scientist we seek is a researcher with these qualifications.
