Senior Bioinformatics Scientist (PhD + 5–7 yrs EXP in Computational Biology or C
BioSpace, East Brunswick, New Jersey, United States
Overview
Senior Bioinformatics Scientist (PhD + 5–7 yrs EXP in Computational Biology or Computer Science RQD) Join to apply for the Senior Bioinformatics Scientist role at BioSpace. Sonder Research X is a pioneering biotechnology company focused on transforming cancer diagnostics, integrating imaging, artificial intelligence, and molecular analysis to develop breakthrough technologies for early cancer detection. Location
East Brunswick, NJ. This position requires the candidate to work full-time from our North Brunswick Laboratory. About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist to advance our multimodal cancer detection platform. This role focuses on developing and optimizing computational methods that integrate genomic, proteomic, and imaging data to enable new insights into disease biology and support regulatory submissions. Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and validate ML models for image and proteomics data. Develop methods for integrating imaging, clinical, and multi-omics datasets to generate clinically actionable insights. Contribute bioinformatics expertise to FDA/regulatory documentation and support clinical validation studies. Develop, benchmark, and maintain computational pipelines for large-scale omics datasets (NGS, scRNA-seq, proteomics). Partner with AI/ML engineers, pathologists, and biologists to define computational approaches and research goals. Ensure best practices in reproducibility, version control, and cloud-based data workflows. Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including contributions to manuscripts, presentations, and grant proposals. Qualifications
Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, or related quantitative field. 5–8 years of postdoctoral or industry experience in bioinformatics, computational biology, or related field. Proven expertise in NGS data analysis with proficiency in tools such as GATK, Samtools, DESeq2, edgeR, Seurat, or Scanpy. Strong programming skills in Python and/or R; experience with Snakemake/Nextflow, Docker, and cloud environments (AWS, GCP). Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Vertex AI). Experience with explainable AI methods (e.g., SHAP, LIME) and their application to biological data. Exposure to digital pathology or biomarker discovery is a strong plus. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills in a fast-paced research environment. What We Offer
Competitive Compensation: Base salary in the range of $120,000–$145,000, commensurate with experience. Impactful Work: The opportunity to shape novel technologies for early cancer detection. Growth & Development: Significant opportunities for professional advancement in a collaborative, mission-driven environment. Cutting-Edge Resources: State-of-the-art computational and laboratory tools and an exceptional interdisciplinary team. Note: Please indicate in your email inquiry if visa sponsorship is required now or in the future, and specify your desired salary range to move your application forward for review.
