Senior Computational Biologist – Target ID

Job description

Your work will change lives. Including your own. The Impact You’ll Make: As a computational biology specialist on our Target ID team, you will be at the forefront of transitioning Recursion to its next era of drug discovery. You will serve as a critical biological anchor for a highly technical data science team building the next generation of our target discovery pipelines. The team’s mission is to identify novel therapeutic targets at scale across the genome for hundreds of indications. You will have access to all of Recursion's data layers—including massive internal maps, functional genomics, and rich patient data (transcriptomics, genetics, and Real-World Data/EHR)—and will be tasked with proposing, piloting, and deploying new methods to integrate these datasets. Crucially, you will leverage your biological subject matter expertise to orient and focus your data scientist and software engineer peers towards reliable and correct usage of biological data and feasible candidate programs. As we build out semi-automated and agentic tools (e.g., multi-agent LLM systems for portfolio oversight and target assessment), your deep real-world biology experience will guide the development of...
