Bioinformatics Scientist- Oncology (Onsite – San Diego, CA)

We are seeking a Bioinformatics Scientist or a global pharmaceutical client. The focus of the role is to identify novel target antigens for radiopharmaceutical therapy in oncology. You will play a prominent role in bioinformatics efforts analyzing large scale multi-dimensional biology datasets and real-world patient data to gain a deep understanding of the cancer landscape and identify therapeutic opportunities in areas of unmet patient need. This is a 40-hour per-week, 6-month contract (extensions possible), 100% onsite role in San Diego, CA. Work Schedule: Mon-Fri(normal business hours) This is a W2 role as a Stage 4 Solutions employee. Health benefits and a 401K are offered. Responsibilities • Target Antigen Discovery: Lead efforts to identify and validate novel antigen targets for radiopharmaceutical therapy in oncology through integration of multi-omics data, including RNA sequencing, proteomics, and genomics. • Bioinformatics Analysis: Design and implement novel analytical frameworks to process, visualize and interpret high throughput sequencing and multiplex flow cytometry data from pre-clinical experiments, Real-World cohorts and internal clinical trial data to validate pharmacodynamics effects, confirm the mechanism of action, and enable patient enrichment strategies. • Collaboration: Work closely with computational biology colleagues, and engage with cross-functional teams, including discovery, translational, and clinical scientists, to provide bioinformatics expertise and guidance on experimental design • Interpretation of Results: Generate hypothesis based on the analyses and present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, providing actionable insights to inform radiopharmaceutical discovery and enable data-driven decision-making. • Oncology Expertise: Apply oncology expertise to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer and therapeutic resistance, particularly in relation to radiopharmaceutical therapy. Requirements • 3+ years of expertise in bioinformatics tools and software for RNA-seq, proteomics, and other omics data analysis. • strong background in -omic (DNA, RNA, epigenetic, proteomic) data analysis, biological interpretation and large-scale data analysis, particularly in oncology • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, and/or Perl, and experience with bioinformatics software and platforms • Strong experience in statistical modeling and/or machine learning approaches, such as mixed-effects models, predictive modeling, etc. to represent biological concepts. • Experience with clinical database (SDTM/ADaM) and biomarker statistical analysis is a plus. • Strong understanding of cancer biology, especially in the context of targeted therapies and/or radiopharmaceuticals. • A strong track record of publications or contributions to impactful research. • Experience with immune-oncology and radiopharmaceuticals is preferred • Familiarity with cloud-based platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud) for large-scale data analysis. Is preferred. • Knowledge of machine learning techniques and their applications in bioinformatics. • PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Cancer Biology, or a related field Please submit your resume to our network at https://www.stage4solutions.com/careers/ (please apply to the Bioinformatics Scientist- Oncology (Onsite – San Diego, CA) role).
