Principal Computational Biologist -BioTech- Alzheimer's disease

Our client is a seed stage TechBio (£2.7m funding) building a platform solution for identifying drug targets for neurological diseases with in-vitro validation.

About the role:

Lead computational biology strategy fortarget identification in neurology, combining hands-on pipeline development with scientific leadership and cross-functional collaboration.

• LeadQTL mapping and integratemulti-omics / functional genomics for target prioritisation
• Build and ownmulti-omics pipelines (QC, normalisation, analysis)
• Collaborate with ML engineers onmodel design, feature selection, training, evaluation, interpretation
• Define and maintainknowledge graph schemas and computational evidence layers
• Translate outputs intobiological hypotheses and support in vitro validation & assay design

• PhD + 3 to 5years in computational biology (multi-omic target discovery)
• StrongPython, R, HPC/cloud computing
• Experience withtranscriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics
• Proven work intarget discovery, prioritisation, in silico validation
• Strongstatistical analysis & data visualisation
• Neurology / neurodegeneration experience (preferred)
• Biotech/pharma background + strong communication & problem-solving

Hands-on role drivingmulti-omics target discovery, integrating ML and data platforms, and working closely with experimental teams in a neurology-focused biotech.
