Your future team

Bioinformatics is a part of Experimental Medicine, an exciting area straddling the line between Research and Clinical Development. Our team takes pride in the role we have across the drug development value chain where we work to derive insights from our biological data and provide our innovative thinking to move projects forward. Each member of the team is an expert in their area but together we make real insights for our projects and collaborate across the R&D field. We work on a mix of: project support, data analysis on the experimental results from our pipelines, and develop our own projects spanning across the various areas. We speak python, R, Shiny, Streamlit and operate mostly in the Cloud. We are helpful, collaborative and make sure we enjoy our time interacting with others.

The position is based in Copenhagen, Denmark and is not a remote opportunity.

What you bring to the team

You have a PhD in Bioinformatics, Data Science or similar, or you have a significant amount of experience and proven skills in the field and are comfortable with relevant bioinformatics software tools that you wield with your comprehensive and effective coding skills.

You have extensive hands-on expertise and deep understanding of bioinformatics (omics) datasets and methods; experience in applying AI based approaches and understanding of knowledge graphs is beneficial.

Experience within neuroscience or other life sciences involving brain research is beneficial, but not required. You should have a strong biological understanding and good scientific reasoning.

Previous industry experience is beneficial, but we welcome candidates from all backgrounds who can contribute to our team.

Some of the traits we value in candidates are innovative, curious, creative, analytical, and proactive.

You are a team player, willing to collaborate with other functions and work well within your own team.
