NOTE: THIS ROLE COULD BE BASED IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK OR BARCELONA, SPAIN

Abzu is breaking new ground in the life science and pharmaceutical industries in early research, clinical development, and digital health. We are looking for a curious and experienced bioinformatician/computational biologist/data scientist who is interested in solving real-world problems in an entirely new way with our proprietary technology.

Description

You will be an integral part of a multi-disciplinary environment, who works in close collaboration with the rest of the Abzu team. You will play a role in bringing the latest advancements in our core technology to the pharmaceutical industries. 

Specifically, you will be part of our forward-looking team composed of bioinformaticians, data scientists, business developers, and project managers, and collaborate with industry experts in various fields. With your analytical skills you will work directly with our customers to help ensure that new insights are revealed and non-trivial relationships are identified in data using our explainable AI.

Ideally, your approach to solving some of the most challenging problems and experiences from the industry, will enable us to demonstrate the unique value of our pioneering technology. Your role will require you to work on complex, varied, and often small datasets. In this role, you will introduce recommendations to our customers that may require them to change their operations or processes, so it is essential that you are able to translate the value we bring. 

This role is ideal for someone with strong coding skills, an interest in machine learning, a passion for bringing the latest research to real applications, strong presentation and communication skills, and with enthusiasm working with different customers and projects. 

We’re an open-minded bunch of nice nerds, and even if you do not meet all of the criteria listed below but are excited about the opportunity, please don’t hesitate to apply or ask questions. We are here to grow together and bring Abzu one step closer to realising the promise of explainable artificial intelligence.

About you… 

• You have a master degree in a relevant field in the life sciences ( bioinformatics, systems biology, computational biology, etc)

• You have experience with data science in Python (sklearn, statsmodels, pandas, numpy) and version control system (git, bitbucket etc) 

• You have experience with biological databases (GEO, ArrayExpress, TGCA, NCBI etc)

• You have experience with bioinformatics pipelines and analyses (gene set enrichment analysis, gene-network analysis, pathway analysis etc)

• You have experience in handling complex data types, data integration and analytical bioinformatics in the context of multi-omics (genomics, transcriptomics, etc) and/or clinical data 

• You strive by working in and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams

  
  

We'd love it if… 

• You have a passion for AI, machine-learning, and research

• You have also experience in R and bash

• You like public speaking and presenting :) 

• You have customer-facing skills, like to explore external opportunities (industry partnerships, academic collaborations, etc.) and want to use our technology to cut through the noise of biological data

• You’re willing to travel for work on occasions (for Abzu gatherings, client meetings, industry conferences, etc.)
