Translational Scientist

Join our team as a Translational Scientist and help us understand and tackle cancer and other disease!About the teamAs a Translational Scientist, you will be working in our multidisciplinary team of biologists, medical doctors, bioinformaticians, and data scientists. We are mainly responsible for planning and executing external collaborations with pharma/biotech partners. We are generating meaningful insights based on computational predictions using our proprietary Simulated Cell platform developed by our internal product teams.You will be responsible for translating the in silico findings to actionable insights in validation experiments, with the ultimate goal of generating patient benefit where there is clinical unmet need. You will not be alone on this journey. Besides the help what you get internally, you will also have the opportunity to interact with our renowned scientific advisors, gathering help in making our predictions really translate.About youYou have proven former industry/research background in translational biology, drug discoveryYou are able to contribute to the scientific direction of our projects based on pre-set objectives, do background research on them and play the “jigsaw puzzle” of molecular biologyYou are experienced in working with big amount of dataYou are able to evaluate, but most importantly understand the hindering biological meaning of the numbersYou are able to interpret your findings in both written and oral format, communicate with external partnersYou are able to make scientific decisions quickly and independently based on the information available to youYou focus on shared success and are open to challenging others and being challenged respectfully to get the best possible outcomeYou have got the knowledge to support Turbine’s research collaborations, by understanding both the mechanism and the mode of action of our target modulation, especially in the context of cellular signaling,having the ability to plan, run and analyze in silico experiments using our internal toolsetsupporting the planning of our wet laboratory-based validation experiments, and evaluating the generated resultscomparing validated findings to Turbine’s in silico hypotheses, associating and finally translating them to clinically relevant insights by using both internal and external databases and toolEssential skills and qualificationsPhD in Biology/Medical or Pharmaceutical Sciences (or related fields)Good data management and visualization skillsBasic biostatistics skillsStrong research and analytical skillsStrong inductive and associative thinking, able to understand complex systemsGood interpretation skillsAbility to work both in team and individuallyAble to create descriptive documentation and customer-facing reportsUpper-intermediate communication skills in English, both verbal and writtenGood presentation skillsAdvantagesAt least 1-2 years’ experience of working in a biotech environmentExperience in the field of precision medicine / oncology / immunologyWet lab experience, especially in using CRISPR and/or siRNA-based technologiesAbility to find balance between creativity and scientific skepticismCustomer facing behavior and business mindsetYou are a Turbiner if these personality traits apply to youYou have self-awareness and strong intention on personal growthYou seek out feedback and learn from mistakes and apply what you learnedYou take responsibility and focus on the outcomes overtasksYou focus on shared success and are open to challenging others respectfully to get the best possible outcomeYou are in it for the long haul and have passion for our mission
