Our Research Scientists are our Inventors. We identify and target steps in disease mechanisms or pathways that could be inhibited or enhanced. Our goal is to isolate a compound that is effective against a disease target. Using innovative thinking, state-of-the-art facilities and robust scientific methodology we collaborate to discover the next medical breakthrough.
Become part of a highly cutting edge and innovative Quantitative Biosciences department. Using robust scientific methodology, novel translational models, state-of-the-art instruments, and automated equipment, we engage in multidisciplinary collaborations to discover the next medical breakthrough. We have added new capability enhancements that allow higher-resolution interrogation of novel biology and the molecular mechanism of action of molecules that help advance the best drug candidates in the clinic.
As a Senior Data Scientist within the Quantitative Biosciences Department at Merck, you will lead statistical analyses and implementations of novel data pipelines that enhance our department’s ability to perform early target drug candidate discovery.
You will apply rigorous biostatistical and computational methods to help scientists generate novel and impactful hypotheses for target discovery. The Senior Data Scientist is responsible for providing stakeholders with an in-depth understanding of the data as well as assisting with designing studies, developing computational pipelines, and executing analytical workflows to answer key research questions.
The ideal candidate we are looking for has a strong background in statistical methods and/or machine learning, data analysis and interpretation, and experimentally-generated biological data sources (e.g. genomics, flow cytometry, high content imaging). This is an ideal opportunity for candidates who are intellectually curious and analytically minded. You should be able to effectively and concisely communicate oral and written results to various stakeholders with diverse backgrounds, balance shifting priorities and build strong relationships among multidisciplinary cross-organizational teams.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will:
