Genentech seeks an enthusiastic bioinformatics scientist who is excited about working collaboratively with world-class scientists from diverse backgrounds to move forward translational oncology research and drug development, with the goal of making a true difference for patients.                               

It is well appreciated that, in addition to driving tumor biology and impacting treatment responses, oncogenic events also shape the tumor environment. Similarly, cancer treatment has been shown to impact not only cancer cells themselves, but also other cell types within the tumor bed.

The primary focus of this position is to study how oncogenic signaling pathways and the tumor microenvironment influence each other and in turn impact therapeutic responses and resistance. To this end, the successful candidate will be interrogating large datasets (for example bulk and single cell RNAseq, whole exome sequencing, ChIP-Seq) from diverse in vitro and in vivo model systems (such as genetically engineered mice, patient derived xenografts) as well as from clinical studies. 

We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about harnessing computational tools and diverse sets of large-scale data to further biological knowledge; who enjoys integrating analysis results with current biological knowledge and guiding experimental design to drive research forward and contribute to innovative therapeutic approaches; who is comfortable communicating complex results in a clear and concise manner — with other computational scientists as well as audiences with other scientific backgrounds. Regular publication of scientific and methodological results is highly encouraged.                                                                                      

Qualifications                                        

• PhD plus Postdoctoral training or equivalent industry experience in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology or similar, with a strong publication record. Alternately, a PhD plus Postdoctoral training in molecular biology, oncology, etc. combined with a very strong record of high- throughput data analysis, supported by publications in this area.

• A strong background in analyzing a diverse set of genomics datasets, particularly those related to mechanisms of gene regulation, such as ChIP-Seq or ATAC-Seq, and to genomic alignments. 

• An understanding of the statistical principles behind current best practices in high- throughput molecular data analysis.

• Strong experience in the use of a high-level programming language such as R (preferred), Python or Perl for complex data analysis.

• Exceptionally strong data presentation, visualization and communication skills with computational and non-computational audiences.

• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively, and to handle several concurrent, fast-paced projects.

• Exposure to clinical data analysis is a plus, as is basic knowledge of oncology/cancer immunotherapy.

• Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Pharmacology, Biochemistry or a related field with 4+ years postdoctoral or industry experience (0+ years for Associate Scientist).
• Experience with bioanalytical chemistry tools involving mass spectrometry, microfluidics, immunoaffinity,  chromatography, and/or spectroscopy is required.
• Experience with protein quantitation and characterization would be advantageous.  
• Proven track record of success and high profile publications is required.
• Practical experience in the design, development, validation and execution of bioanalytical chemistry tools for characterization and quantitation of biomolecules is required.
• Familiar with multi-disciplinary activities of large molecule drug discovery research involving functional screening, pharmacokinetics and biotransformation.
• Experience with automating instrumentation and data processing would be advantageous.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills is required.
• Drive for conceiving and implementing highly innovative analytical tools would be advantageous.

The Genentech Bioinformatics department seeks a highly motivated Reverse Translation Scientist/Senior Scientist to leverage computational biology to study the molecular pathways that contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including those associated with COVID-19. The successful candidate will work with colleagues in the Translational Genomics and Immunology departments to pursue the development of novel therapeutics and biomarkers related to ARDS. The successful candidate will work as a member of a highly collaborative team to design experiments, interpret data, and develop computational solutions to address underlying biological questions. The successful candidate will lead a computationally-driven research program focused on leveraging high-dimensional data from patient-derived tissue and biofluids to develop a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving ARDS.

Qualifications:

• You have a PhD and Postdoctoral training in Computational Biology, Biostatistics, Human Genetics, and some experience in Immunology.

• You have evidence of scientific achievements through first or corresponding author publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

• You are comfortable writing code in languages such as R, or Matlab, Python, etc. and have familiarity with UNIX and high-performance computing environments.

• You are able to define and lead a computational research program involving the creative analysis and integration of high dimensional datasets (e.g. single cell sequence assays, genotype or WGS data, proteomics data and CRISPR screen analysis).

• You are intensely curious about the biology of disease and eager to contribute to scientific efforts focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying disease biology.

• You have basic expertise in molecular and cellular biology.

• You are able to work successfully as the computational lead in cross-functional teams that contribute to drug and biomarker development.

At this time, due to the ever changing situation concerning the COVID-19 global pandemic, for our summer 2021 internship program we will only consider international candidates who are currently in the US and will remain in the US for the duration of the internship.

Job Description:

Pharmaceutical Development seeks to ensure stability of protein therapeutics from the point of drug substance manufacture through administration to the patient.

The internship project involves developing a model to predict osmolality measurements of complex non-ideal buffers in the presence of monoclonal antibodies. The intern will calculate osmolality using chemical equilibrium and interaction parameters. Molecular dynamics may be used to predict interaction parameter for particular antibodies. Theoretical data will be compared against historical data with various osmometers. If predictive, the intern will update an existing webtool for osmolality calculation for non-ideal protein formulations.

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Engineering (biomedical, chemical), Pharmaceutical Sciences
• 1+ years experience with Matlab or similar programming tool
