Data Scientist

Key Responsibilities

• Lead bioinformatic and data science efforts focused on single‑cell RNA‑seq (scRNA‑seq) data, including experimental design support, data processing, quality control, and downstream analysis.
• Apply advanced statistical, machine learning, and AI methods to single‑cell transcriptomic data to identify cell states, trajectories, biomarkers, and mechanistic insights relevant to clinical outcomes.
• Integrate scRNA‑seq data with complementary data types (e.g., bulk RNA‑seq, genomics, clinical metadata) to support translational and clinical decision‑making.
• Analyze and interpret single‑cell TCR sequencing (scTCR‑seq) data to characterize T‑cell clonality, diversity, and clonal dynamics in clinical cell therapy studies.
• Integrate scRNA‑seq and scTCR‑seq data to link T‑cell receptor repertoire features with transcriptional states, phenotypes, and clinical outcomes.
• Design and implement custom analytical tools and models tailored to cell therapy and immunology research questions.
• Collaborate closely with biologists, clinicians, and cross‑functional teams to translate single‑cell analytics into actionable insights for ongoing clinical programs.
• Contribute to the development of analytical models for clinical NGS and single‑cell data in regulated environments.
• Establish and maintain reproducible, scalable data architectures using cloud platforms and/or high‑performance computing resources.
• Build and manage code repositories, documentation, and best practices for single‑cell data analysis.
• Communicate complex analytical methods and findings through clear reports, visualizations, presentations, and collaborative discussions.
• Stay current with emerging single‑cell technologies, methods, and tools, and proactively incorporate them to improve analytical approaches.
