Nonclinical Safety and Submissions (NCSS), Preclinical Sciences and Translational Safety (PSTS), is seeking a highly motivated Senior Scientist to deliver transformative big data capabilities that will drive efficiency, holistic data interpretations, and mechanistic insights to power the new discovery paradigm. NCSS is a team of toxicologists and nonclinical writers responsible for delivering on the PSTS portfolio (efficacy-to-safety, Discovery through Post-Marketing) across all J&J modalities and therapeutic areas.

 

The Senior Scientist will develop data pipelines and tools to interrogate, analyze, and interpret multimodal safety data, and enable integration and interpretation of study data, meta-analyses, and hypothesis generation, as well as generation of mechanistically-founded adverse outcome pathways enabling on/off target assessments, species comparison, and prediction of human outcomes.  The role requires a breadth of skills and knowledge to address key biological concerns and portfolio needs into meaningful data science questions and investigating those using relevant data analytics and visualization techniques. The candidate is intellectually curious and will thrive in a dynamic, multidisciplinary, and collaborative environment.
