About the team/job
We are looking for a Computational Analyst/Biologist with strong background in Single Cell Genomics to join the Open Targets team. We are seeking a team member to expand our informatics platforms through integration of single cell omics data to enhance drug discovery.
Open Targets (OT) is a public-private partnership aiming to systematically identify and prioritise drug targets by integrating complex biological data in a pre-competitive environment. As an open-source project, the Open Targets platform and Open Targets Genetics organise and present large amounts of biomedical data to publicly facilitate the drug discovery decision-making process.
Check out our blog to learn more about our recent work and what it is like to join our team. And stop by the Open Targets Community to see first-hand how our data and tools are used to help researchers unlock insights to solve some of the most complex biological questions.
In this Single Cell Computational Biologist role you will actively develop pipelines that integrate our growing experimental single-cell data (including RNA expression, protein expression, single-cell eQTLs) with public domain data. This will require benchmarking the approaches against appropriate metrices and the development of processes to migrate these pipelines into the Open Targets software ecosystem. You will work in a multidisciplinary team and interact closely with experimentalists, data analysts, academic and industry scientists and the Open Targets core development team. You should be able to demonstrate the ability to work well with colleagues and to collaborate with external partners. You must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong self-motivation and enjoy working in a stimulating, multi-cultural team.
