CITRE is BMS's European hub for computational innovation, where AI is applied across the drug discovery continuum. Here, your work will move beyond theory into real-world applications that inform strategy and decision-making.
In particular, the team is tackling pressing questions in biomedical research, such as
- How can we build and apply foundation models in oncology and neuroscience to capture the complexity of disease biology and accelerate drug discovery?
- How can multi-modal AI methods integrate omics, imaging, and clinical data to uncover novel disease mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities?
- How can predictive biology approaches help anticipate patient responses and support precision medicine strategies?
What You Will Do
- Shape research and practice by applying your expertise in machine learning to biomedical data, providing insights and best practices that address scientific and business challenges.
- Work independently on projects that require collaboration with external partners, contributing to decision-making with minimal managerial oversight.
- Lead and deliver projects with clear goals, manageable risks, and appropriate use of resources, ensuring high-quality results.
- Be a resource for colleagues, sharing knowledge, mentoring less experienced team members, and helping to build team capacity.
- Solve problems creatively - not only applying existing methods but also exercising judgment to adapt and develop new approaches.
- Contribute to decisions whose impact extends across your team, related teams, and external collaborators, ensuring alignment with BMS's broader objectives.
- Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Applied experience with both established and modern ML methods.
- Evidence of impactful projects or publications.
- Proficiency in Python and its scientific ecosystem (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn).
- Experience with at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX).
- Ability to communicate results clearly in English, both in writing and speaking.
- Curiosity for biology and motivation to apply computational skills to healthcare challenges.
- Experience with ML applied to digital pathology or radiology (2D and/or 3D).
- Postdoctoral or equivalent experience in academia or industry (1+ years).
- Familiarity with transformer-based models and self-supervised learning.
- Previous work in pharma, biotech, or healthcare research.
- Experience with multi-modal biological datasets (omics, imaging, time-series).
- Comfort with HPC clusters (e.g., SLURM) and software tools like Docker and Git.
