Postdoctoral Research Fellow Program

Our Research Laboratories’ Postdoctoral Research Fellow Program aims to be a best-in-industry program for industrial postdoctoral researchers, designed to provide you with an academic focus in a commercial environment. With the resources, reach, and expertise of a large pharmaceutical company, postdoctoral researchers will be positioned to excel in an institution committed to breakthrough innovation in research and discovery.

Our company is a global health care leader with a diversified portfolio of prescription medicines, vaccines and animal health products. Today, we are building a new kind of healthcare company – one that is ready to help create a healthier future for all of us.

Our ability to excel depends on the integrity, knowledge, imagination, skill, diversity and teamwork of an individual like you. To this end, we strive to create an environment of mutual respect, encouragement and teamwork. As part of our global team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with talented and dedicated colleagues while developing and expanding your career.

Our company’s Research Labs, is looking for a passionate and talented systems biologist with expertise in the generation and analysis of complex multi-dimensional and multi-scale biological data to join our research team and support our company’s discovery & development efforts at West Point, PA. Candidate with experience studying virus-host interactions will be preferred.

In this role, you will be at the very leading-edge of therapeutic research and development, developing and implementing experimental and computational tools in a dynamic and scientifically rigorous environment. You will operate in a highly collaborative and matrixed organization and engage with cross-functional teams of experimental and computational biologists, data scientists, and colleagues across our company ecosystem to drive a diverse therapeutic pipeline.

The successful candidate will be a scientifically curious team player and self-motivated learner with previous knowledge of functional genomics-driven experimental strategies at the bulk and single-cell scales and an interest in developing and using technology solutions (algorithms/tools/etc) to aid in our interpretation of complex biological data especially at the interface of virus-host interactions.

An ability to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with colleagues from different disciplines will be essential.

This role is based at our West Point, PA location.

In this role, you will:

Directly contribute to therapeutic development through rigorous design and/or implementation of high-dimensional functional genomics and cellular profiling assays in virus infected cells, including in vitro and in vivo pooled/arrayed CRISPR screens, single-cell transcriptomics and lineage tracing, as well as experimental and in silico derived proteomic datasets.

Perform statistically rigorous quantitative analyses while employing reproducible research and data integrity practices on large-scale biological datasets.

Analyze, interpret, and summarize complex biological data and employ data visualization tools to facilitate communication of findings to broader audiences.

Identify, analyze, and integrate internal and external data and knowledge resources to enable data mining in a biological context and inform actionable learnings to drive pipeline development.

Develop and implement experimental and/or computational methods to integrate findings from functional genomics screens and other data sets (including RNA-Seq, DRUG-seq, WGS, CRISPR, single cell RNA-Seq, proteomics, and metabolomics) with additional biological data streams to generate deep biological knowledge and drive innovation.

Provide clear interpretation of high-dimensional data and propose candidates for further computational and biological interrogation.

Engage with cross-functional teams to translate biological…
