Job Description:
The Population Analytics & Insights team, part of Data Science and Digital Health at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scientist to support neuroscience research programs. This role is based in Spring House, Pennsylvania.
Our team develops innovative, data-driven solutions across multiple disease areas. In this position, you will analyze large-scale omics data to help elucidate molecular drivers of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, advancing AI-enabled, data-driven drug discovery through modern computational biology and machine learning approaches.
Key responsibilities
You will leverage our extensive omics resources and apply state-of-the-art computational biology and machine learning methods, with a primary focus on:
Novel target identification using integrative approaches in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Large-scale genetics association analysis.
Proteome-wide multi-task learning for target and biomarker discovery in brain diseases
Precision patient stratification and characterization of subtype-specific genomic signatures
You will work closely with scientists across disease genetics, computational genomics, AI/machine learning, and the neuroscience therapeutic area to design and implement computational pipelines; analyze and interpret results; and communicate findings through internal presentations, conferences, and scientific publications. You will also have opportunities to collaborate with external researchers and institutions on related projects.
Conceive, develop, and implement analytical solutions for high-priority scientific projects.
Engage with scientists across Johnson & Johnson to foster collaborations and build a strong professional network.
Analyze large-scale genetics, proteomics, and other omics modalities using advanced statistical and computational methods.
Publish and present findings in top-tier journals and scientific conferences.
