Junior Data Scientist

About Us

Bexorg is revolutionizing drug discovery by restoring molecular activity in postmortem human brains. Through our BrainEx platform, we directly experiment on functionally preserved human brain tissue, creating enormous high-fidelity molecular datasets that fuel AI-driven breakthroughs in treating CNS diseases. We are looking for a Junior Data Scientist to join our team and dive into this one-of-a-kind data. In this onsite role, you will work at the intersection of computational biology and machine learning, helping analyze high-dimensional brain data and uncover patterns that could lead to the next generation of CNS therapeutics. This is an ideal opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career scientist to grow in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

The Job

• Data Analysis & Exploration : Work with large-scale molecular datasets from our BrainEx experiments - including transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolic data. Clean, transform, and explore these high-dimensional datasets to understand their structure and identify initial insights or anomalies.
• Collaborative Research Support : Collaborate closely with our life sciences, computational biology and deep learning teams to support ongoing research. You will help biologists interpret data results and assist machine learning researchers in preparing data for modeling, ensuring that domain knowledge and data science intersect effectively.
• Machine Learning Model Execution : Run and tune machine learning and deep learning models on real-world central nervous system (CNS) data. You'll help set up experiments, execute training routines (for example, using scikit-learn or PyTorch models), and evaluate model performance to extract meaningful patterns that could inform drug discovery.
• Statistical Insight Generation : Apply statistical analysis and visualization techniques to derive actionable insights from complex data. Whether it's identifying gene expression patterns or correlating molecular changes with experimental conditions, you will contribute to turning data into scientific discoveries.
• Reporting & Communication : Document your analysis workflows and results in clear reports or dashboards. Present findings to the team, highlighting key insights and recommendations. You will play a key role in translating data into stories that drive decision-making in our R&D efforts.
