Vice President, Translational Computational Biology
Recursion is seeking a Vice President of Translational Computational Biology to set the strategy and drive the implementation of connecting data from our genome-scale -omics platforms with population- and patient-derived genetics and leveraging advanced analytics including ML/data science to identify novel biological and chemical hypotheses and to validate those insights as they progress rapidly and efficiently through our drug development funnel. The successful candidate will have 7+ years of experience applying expertise in computational biology in service of advancing drug discovery and drug development programs, with particular consideration given to candidates with experience in oncology. The ideal candidate will have experience working in partnerships with both wet-lab and computational components, demonstrated ability to manage multiple project teams with cross-functional delivery goals, and a track-record for pairing large-scale patient/population datasets in a closed loop with high-throughput in vitro functional genomics to transform the process of identifying targets, models, and biomarkers with patient connectivity and validity. Responsibilities will include: Identifying and setting the strategy on technological and analytical advances in the computational biology field that will directly advance Recursion's portfolio and its mission to industrialize drug development Mentoring teams to develop technologies to address specific questions that move multiple drug program and partnership projects forward Collaborating with Recursion's research-oriented teams to evaluate new technologies and decide on which to transition toward scaled production Leading the strategy and implementation efforts to identify optimal disease and patient linkages to our -omics phenotypes, along with the discovery and validation of translational biomarkers and patient selection solutions to drive precision medicine for our therapeutic programs Being a key member to contribute to the strategy for the collection of patient genetic and biomarker data in Recursion clinical trials for reverse translation Being a key member to contribute to strategy in support of the Recursion OS and clinical portfolio, building and nourishing strong links between computational biology and the larger cross-functional organization Collaborating with groups in discovery biology, chemistry, and data science to rapidly deliver a portfolio of therapeutic programs to the clinic Guiding teams of computational biologists and data scientists in executing the above strategy to industrialize the process of turning maps into medicines Recruiting, mentoring, and managing high-performing teams of computational biologists and data scientists working in our therapeutic areas (oncology, neuroscience, and more) as well as on pan-therapeutic area initiatives, including genetics work The Vice President of Translational Computational Biology will report to the SVP Clinical Development & Data Science and will collaborate with peer leaders in data science, biology, chemistry, and engineering to drive both present execution and future industrialization in both Recursion’s core therapeutic areas of oncology, neuroscience and future areas. Recursion offers a competitive salary range of $276,500 - $337,500 USD, $351,000 - $429,000 CAD, or £220,000 - £268,000 GBP, as well as an annual bonus and equity compensation, and a comprehensive benefits package. Recursion is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, local, or provincial human rights legislation.
