    BACKGROUND

    This is a corporate venture of the highest priority and significant financial backing. Our client is a globally recognized life sciences company and is committed to developing a break-through, Drug Discovery platform. This opportunity was posted approximately 3 months ago, however all hiring was delayed due to a major collaboration agreement (directly related to this venture). That collaboration is now set and the hiring of the leadership team is moving forward immediately.

    Serving as the lead informatics officer, the incumbent will directly contribute to the research and development of a paradigm shifting Drug Discovery Engine.

    Day to day responsibilities will include:
    • Building the appropriate informatics capabilities in coordination with Systems Biology leadership.
    • Develop and coordinate the data package containing the appropriate reporting and analysis for pharmacological profiling of customers’ compounds
    • Hire and manage a 1-3 member team with bioinformatics expertise
    REQUIREMENTS:
    Qualifications (please, qualified applicants only):
    • Ph. D. in Mathematics/Computer Science/Bioengineering/Molecular Biology/Chemistry/Physics, etc.
    • Strong track record (10+ years ideally) with a hands-on background in bioinformatics for systems biology and/or biological network modeling
    • Strong familiarity and expertise with existing/commercially available bioinformatics software
    • Strong familiarity with cell/molecular biology and signal transduction pathways
    • Proven ability to work with experimental scientists to develop appropriate results driven models
    • A therapeutic focus in one or more of the following is preferred: Oncology, Neurology, or Immunology.
    • An entrepreneurial spirit and a strong interest in break-thru, paradigm shifting technology.
    SALARY & COMPENSATION:
    Total compensation (base and bonus) for qualified candidates will be in the $180K ++ range annually. This position will include full corporate relocation, world-class benefits, and the opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative company culture.

    LOCALE:
    • *Please read before applying: The incumbent must be open to relocation to New York State for a 12-24 month period during the product research and development phase (at corporate HQ) and then be available to move to one of the company's divisions near a major life-sciences industry hub thereafter (this will likely be in the North East).
    HOW TO APPLY:
    Please email CV/Resume, along with brief cover letter to JCompton[at]agilesearchinc.com. I will follow up personally with all qualified applicants.

    Qualified Applicants only please. We apologize but are unable to respond to unqualified applicants. Thank you.

    DEADLINE/Additional Info: If you recognize this posting from before and you were qualified and applied, then I am likely in touch with you already (but feel free to re-apply if I have not been). We expect this hire to be made prior to the end of October; new applicants are encouraged. First round interviews are currently in progress!
