Job Description
Join Amgen's Mission of Serving Patients as a Senior Scientist - Computational Systems & Predictive Biology. This role focuses on developing scientific platforms and predictive systems that enable scalable, reproducible, and therapeutic area-agnostic application of computational biology across target discovery and validation. You will develop and operationalize computational models into reusable systems, define canonical data and analytical representations across modalities, and build predictive frameworks that enable in silico interrogation of biological systems where experimental data are limited or infeasible.

Requirements

  • PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, statistics, computer science, data science, or a related quantitative discipline
  • Strong background in computational biology methods, including statistical modeling and AI/ML
  • Expertise in developing machine learning approaches for biological data, including predictive modeling and, ideally, experience with generative or representation learning methods
  • Experience working with multimodal biological datasets, including perturbation screens, transcriptomics, single-cell and spatial omics, proteomics, and genetic or epigenomic data
  • Strong programming skills in Python, R, Linux/Unix, or similar languages

Benefits

  • Comprehensive employee benefits package, including a Retirement and Savings Plan with generous company contributions
  • Group medical, dental and vision coverage
  • Life and disability insurance
  • Flexible spending accounts
  • Discretionary annual bonus program, or for field sales representatives, a sales-based incentive plan
  • Stock-based long-term incentives
