You will lead a team of world-class computational biologists focused on identifying and advancing the next generation of oncology targets and therapeutics to fill our internal pipeline. You will act as a "player-coach," balancing direct technical contribution with the mentorship and strategic leadership of a high-performing team. Your mission is to integrate Recursion’s massive datasets—phenomics, transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics—to nominate novel targets, validate disease biology, and define the precision oncology strategies to advance our most promising therapeutic targets into full-fledged drug discovery programs.
This is a highly collaborative role: you will partner with biologists, data scientists, platform and data engineers, and translational experts to develop and scale methods for target discovery in oncology and immunological diseases. The ideal candidate has strong stakeholder management, technical communication, and 3+ years biotech or pharma experience in early drug discovery.
