Save Job

Vice President, Translational Computational Biology As the Vice President of Translational Computational Biology, you’ll set the strategy and drive the implementation of connecting data from our genome‑scale -omics platforms with population‑ and patient‑derived genetics, 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.

Responsibilities

Identify and set the strategy on technological and analytical advances in the computational biology field that will directly advance Recursion's portfolio and mission to industrialize drug development.

Mentor teams to develop technologies that address specific questions, moving multiple drug program and partnership projects forward.

Collaborate with Recursion's research‑oriented teams to evaluate new technologies and decide on which to transition toward scaled production.

Lead strategy and implementation efforts to identify optimal disease and patient linkages to our -omics phenotypes, along with discovery and validation of translational biomarkers and patient‑selection solutions to drive precision medicine.

Contribute to the strategy for collection of patient genetic and biomarker data in Recursion clinical trials for reverse translation, and support the Recursion OS and clinical portfolio by building strong links between computational biology and the larger organization.

Collaborate with groups in discovery biology, chemistry, and data science to rapidly deliver a portfolio of therapeutic programs to the clinic.

Guide teams of computational biologists and data scientists in executing the above strategy to industrialize the process of turning maps into medicines.

Qualifications

7+ years of experience in computational biology, with particular consideration given to oncology expertise.

Experience working in partnerships with both wet‑lab and computational components.

Demonstrated ability to manage multiple project teams with cross‑functional delivery goals.

Track record pairing large‑scale patient/population datasets in a closed loop with high‑throughput in vitro functional genomics to transform target, model, and biomarker identification.

Experience developing and implementing patient‑stratification/precision medicine solutions in clinical development leveraging multi‑omics and clinical data, well versed in regulatory considerations.

Strong leadership of a multi‑level management tree, fostering an inclusive and diverse group with a passion for developing world‑class talent in a matrixed environment.

Curiosity and professional skill set to excel in an open, highly collaborative, and growth‑oriented environment.

Platform The Recursion OS is our platform for the industrialization of drug discovery, linking digital and physical workflows to automate therapeutic program initiation and optimization in a scaled, data‑driven manner. These workflows automatically validate biological insights from high‑dimensional in vitro profiling and optimize chemical matter through loops of experimental data and ML predictions. They are powered by patient datasets and Recursion’s “maps of biology” – a unique system integrating genome‑scale reverse genetics and chemical profiling to predict trillions of relationships between biological perturbations and therapeutic candidates.

Location & Compensation This is an onsite role based in our Salt Lake City, New York City, or London office with a hybrid schedule. Employees are expected to work in the office at least 50% of the time. Based on skill and level of experience, the estimated current annual base range is $319,000–$413,600 USD. You will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and a comprehensive benefits package.
