Introduction to Role:
Join us at AstraZeneca as an Associate Director Bioinformatics in our Oncology Business Unit. This role offers a unique opportunity to partner with CPSS scientists across multiple strategic global locations. You will use computational approaches to generate biological insights, enable new computational capabilities, and drive efforts focused on advancing understanding of drug safety and efficacy. This is a rare chance to gain experience in a variety of computational approaches, work with industry leaders, and contribute directly to the development of future drugs across many diseases.
As an Associate Director Bioinformatics, you will build in silico capabilities to advance multi-omics technologies that measure transcripts, proteins, and metabolites at both the bulk and spatial levels. You will drive hypothesis generation by applying computational biology approaches, data integration, and combining biological knowledge. You will also implement new predictive capabilities using computational biology to translate omics data into biological insights for predictive safety. Collaboration with academic research groups, leveraging external grants, and contributing to publications in peer-reviewed journals will be part of your role. You will also help educate and train AstraZeneca colleagues in omics data interpretation and related areas and support junior members of staff and postdocs.
When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
