Senior Scientist I, Data Science

Responsibilities

• Perform in-depth analysis of preclinical and platform datasets, including immunophenotyping, functional assays, and multi-omics data to support both therapeutic programs and platform development
• Integrate and interpret data across studies and contexts to generate biological insights that inform CAR activity, persistence, immune dynamics and platform-level understanding of our therapeutics
• Collaborate closely with immunology and platform teams to inform experimental design and interpret results
• Work resourcefully with internal/external datasets to contextualize findings and strengthen conclusions
• Apply statistical and systems modeling to develop deeper understanding of product and platform attributes and performance
• Apply and promote best practices in data structuring, annotation, and metadata usage to enable reliable, scalable and reusable downstream analysis across programs and platform efforts
• Develop and maintain reproducible analysis workflows, with clear documentation and version control (Git) and contribute to a well-organized data environment by following FAIR-aligned practices in day-to-day work
• Communicate findings clearly with collaborators through visualizations, presentations, and written summaries

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Biophysics or related field with 3+ years of experience analyzing multifaceted biological datasets in biotech, pharma, or academia
• Firsthand experience working in CAR-T or RNA therapeutics
• Demonstrated experience applying modeling (statistical, system) to biological data
• Strong expertise in high-dimensional data analysis (e.g., RNA-seq, single-cell, in vivo studies) with the ability to transform raw data to refined downstream biological interpretations
• Proficiency in Python and/or R, with strong data analysis and visualization skills and a firm grasp of modern statistics (mixed models, Bayesian methods, etc.)
• Experience building reproducible and well-documented analysis workflows (Nextflow, Snakemake) and applying sound data organization and metadata practices
• Demonstrated ability to champion cross-functional efforts in close collaboration with experimental scientists, taking ownership and driving insights even in areas outside your core subject matter expertise
