Remote work within the U.S. may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to company approval.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will join the Data, Data Science & AI organization within Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine and contribute to the development and evaluation of foundation models for oncology using large-scale omics and clinical datasets. The work will focus on leveraging single-cell, spatial, and other high-dimensional molecular data to better understand tumor biology, the tumor microenvironment, and clinically relevant disease mechanisms.

You will work closely with Oncology Translational Research and cross-functional scientific teams to translate complex biological data into robust computational models and actionable insights.

In this role, you will:

  • Collaborate with Oncology Translational Research to develop computational models that generate insights relevant to precision medicine and drug development.
  • Analyze and integrate high-dimensional biological data, including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, for model development, training, and validation.
  • Develop and implement scalable statistical, machine learning, and deep learning approaches using large-scale transcriptomic and multimodal datasets.
  • Design rigorous model evaluation strategies, including appropriate benchmarks, validation datasets, and biologically relevant performance metrics.
  • Partner with experimental and translational scientists to design studies that enable robust evaluation and interpretation of computational predictions.
  • Develop reproducible, modular, and scalable research code consistent with internal software engineering and data integrity standards.
  • Communicate methods, model performance, and scientific findings through technical reports, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. completed within the last three years in computer science, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python; experience with R is desirable.
  • Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, statistical modeling, or representation learning.
  • Experience developing modular, scalable, and reusable software for computational research or AI/ML applications.
  • Experience analyzing large-scale transcriptomic or other high-dimensional biological datasets.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and rigorously evaluate computational models.
  • Strong research record, including peer-reviewed publications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex computational concepts to both technical and scientific audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience applying AI/ML methods to oncology, cancer biology, or drug discovery.
  • Experience with single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, or multimodal biological datasets.
  • Experience with foundation models, representation learning, transformers, or other large-scale deep learning architectures for biological data.
  • Familiarity with cell therapy discovery and development.
  • Experience working at the interface of computational modeling and experimental or translational biology.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
