Scientist or Senior Scientist, Computational Biology & Data Sciences

Join to apply for the Scientist or Senior Scientist, Computational Biology & Data Sciences role at Century Therapeutics, Inc .

Job Type

Full-time

Description

Century Therapeutics is developing novel allogeneic living cell products for oncology, autoimmune disease, and Type I Diabetes that overcome the limitations of current cell therapies. Century’s genetically engineered, iPSC‑derived cell therapies are designed to specifically target and deplete pathogenic cells or restore endogenous cellular function. Our commitment to developing off-the-shelf cell therapies will expand patient access and provide an unparalleled opportunity to advance therapies.

Century’s foundational technology is built on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that have unlimited self‑renewing capacity. This enables complex cellular engineering to produce controlled cell banks of modified cells that can be expanded and differentiated into desired cell populations, which can supply vast amounts of allogeneic, homogeneous therapeutic products. This platform differentiates Century from other approaches that utilize non‑renewable donor‑derived cells.

Role

The Scientist or Senior Scientist will build out our automated analysis tooling that is central to our scientific process at Century. This system ingests data from many assays across Research and delivers timely analysis and visualizations to scientists, maximizing the rate of iterative scientific advancement. The candidate will further grow the capabilities of this system through software development, data engineering, and collaborations.

The role will also involve targeted data analysis projects, presentations, and collaborative work with our research teams and within Comp Bio & Data Sciences, with a specific focus on our beta islet cell therapy program. We collect extensive omics and other multivariate data during and after differentiation that the individual will mine for iterative improvement of our therapy products.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automated analysis and data visualization tools to support iterative scientific research across multiple teams at Century.
• Conduct data analysis projects using a combination of internal and public data sets to further development of our beta islet cell therapy product.

Qualifications

Doctorate degree and 1-3 years of industry experience (Scientist) or 4+ years (Senior Scientist), with a substantial and demonstrable computational and data analysis component.
