Novo Nordisk is hiring a (Senior) Data Scientist to support technology development within Digital Chemistry & Design (DCD). You will combine deep computational expertise with strong protein modelling and engineering capabilities to advance our next generation biologics design platforms and apply them in discovery programs targeting obesity and other serious chronic diseases.
What You'll Do
- Develop, validate, and implement innovative computational methods and workflows that enable high quality design of peptides, proteins, antibodies, and other complex biologics
- Contribute to the development of our internal modelling and design platforms and relevant computational infrastructure
- Evaluate, onboard and optimise external tools for our use cases
- Work collaboratively with your colleagues to develop machine learning models used to optimise biologics candidates
- Support modelling scientists within the DCD area to build and apply tailored workflows for research projects
What We're Looking For
- PhD (or equivalent) in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Protein Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related field; or a Master’s degree with 3+ years of relevant industrial experience
- Demonstrated track-record developing computational methods for proteins/biologics (e.g., protein/antibody design, property prediction, structure based design, developability assessments), evidenced by publications, preprints, patents, open-source libraries, or project outcomes
- Strong experience in ML and deep learning method development and Python programming, applied to biological problems
- Good understanding of protein sequence, structure, function, possibly in relation to therapeutics discovery and design
- Experience in usage of HPC and cloud solutions (AWS, Azure, or similar)
- Good interpersonal skills: communication, group work, goal-oriented
Nice to Have
- Experience with protein design and data-driven ML optimisation
Technical Stack
- Python
- AWS
- Azure
- HPC
