About the Role
The Omics Data Scientist will build omics processing pipelines to extract signals from multiple modalities (whole genome sequencing, transcriptomics, and proteomics), ensuring experimental reproducibility, data standardization, and correction of technical biases. You will extract relevant features, deliver AI-ready omics data, establish mono-modal baselines, reproduce state-of-the-art results, and contribute to a multimodal architecture.
Responsibilities
- Design pipelines for whole genome sequence, transcriptomics and proteomics normalization, denoising, standardization and feature engineering.
- Benchmark omics based AMR prediction from the literature as well as omics baselines.
- Develop and implement deep learning models (transformers, graph neural networks, autoencoders) for multi-OMICs integration supporting predictive modeling and mechanistic interpretation.
- Adapt and implement computational biology approaches for translational diagnostic applications.
- Collaborate closely with microbiologists, computer vision experts, and optical physicists to ensure biological interpretability of AI models.
- Contribute to scientific publications, conferences, and intellectual property (patents) highlighting novel insights from integrated OMICs and optical data.
Requirements
- Engineer degree, Master's degree, or PhD in computational biology or machine learning applied to Omics.
- A minimum of 2 years of proven hands-on omics processing and omics-based deep learning model training.
- Proficient in python, comfortable leveraging omics processing software, documents systematically, uses continuous integration tools and best coding practices.
- Able to organise their working day independently once roadmaps are established, anticipate scheduling constraints (computation time, data availability), check for spurious correlation and deliver statistically meaningful conclusions.
- Comfortable contributing across tasks in a small laboratory environment.
- Clear written and verbal scientific communication in English.
