Job Description : Senior Computational Biologist

Department : Data Science, PIRC

Reports to : Director of AI in Drug Development

Job Summary :

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Senior Computational Biologist to join our dynamic data science team. This individual will apply advanced OMICS-oriented analytical methods, statistical modeling, and ML / AI to accelerate discovery and decision-making in support of PIRC’s expanding research programs. The ideal candidate will leverage their deep expertise in computational biology, deep learning, and data-driven drug discovery to develop state-of-art solutions. This role involves close, cross-functional collaboration with Immunology, Translational Science, and Biologics teams to build sophisticated algorithms and predictive models that drive our pipeline.

The Company :

It’s not often you get the chance to make a real impact on the lives of others, while expanding your own possibilities. You’ll find that rare opportunity at PharmaEssentia. Join us, and let’s transform lives, together.

PharmaEssentia Corporation is a rapidly growing biopharmaceutical innovator. We are leveraging deep expertise and proven scientific principles to deliver effective new biologics for challenging diseases in the areas of hematology and oncology, with one approved product and a diversifying pipeline. We believe in the potential to improve both health and quality of life for patients with limited options today through the combination of rigorous research and innovative thinking.

Founded in 2003 by a team of Taiwanese-American executives and renowned scientists from U.S. biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, today we are listed on the Taipei Exchange (TPEx : 6446) and are expanding our global presence with operations in the U.S., Japan, China and Korea, along with a world-class biologics production facility in Taichung.

This role will be in the PharmaEssentia Innovation Research Center (PIRC), the US R&D center for PharmaEssentia.
