Overview

At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees work to discover and bring medicines to those who need them, improve understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We are looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world. The Diabetes, Obesity and Complications Therapeutic Area (DOCTA) focuses on the discovery of biologic, small molecule and genetic therapeutics for the treatment of diabetes, obesity and associated complications. The successful candidate will support data, tools and infrastructure that enable research and development objectives to inform and accelerate discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics. We are seeking a key multi-dimensional individual to integrate and analyze genomic, proteomic, metabolomic and phenotypic data from publicly available biobank and proprietary datasets on cloud-based clinical multi-omics platforms. We are seeking a

Statistical Geneticist

with expertise in

whole genome sequencing (WGS), proteomics, and clinical outcomes analysis

to advance our research in identifying novel therapeutic targets. This role will involve analyzing large-scale

biobank and population-cohort datasets

to uncover genetic and molecular factors associated with disease risk, progression, and treatment response. You will operate as part of the DOCTA Data Science and Computational Biology (DSCB) team and partner with early discovery scientists and clinicians, translational scientists, bioinformaticians and geneticists. This is an exciting opportunity to

advance precision medicine and therapeutic target identification

through innovative statistical genetics approaches. If you are passionate about using big data for scientific discovery and therapeutic application, we encourage you to apply! Key Responsibilities

Apply

statistical and computational approaches

to analyze WGS/WES, proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical data for biomarker discovery. Conduct rigorous analyses of

large-scale population cohorts and biobank datasets

to identify genetic variants and causal genes associated with disease outcomes. Develop and implement

machine learning and bioinformatics pipelines

to integrate multi-omics data. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including

geneticists, epidemiologists, and clinicians , to interpret findings and guide therapeutic development. Prepare

scientific reports, presentations, and publications

detailing research outcomes. Contribute to the development of

novel statistical methods

for analyzing high-dimensional biological data. Qualifications & Requirements

PhD in statistical genetics, bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative field Preferred Qualifications

Expertise in
