Postdoctoral Fellow Job at Amgen (South San Francisco)

Job Description

Develop and apply innovative approaches to understand the biological mechanisms that contribute to human disease. Working within Amgen Research, leverage large-scale biological datasets, advanced computational methods, and emerging genomic technologies to generate insights that advance our understanding of disease biology and inform future therapeutic strategies. This position is designed for a highly motivated scientist interested in working at the interface of computational and experimental biology. The successful candidate will integrate diverse molecular and biological datasets to investigate how genetic, cellular, and molecular variation influences biological processes and disease-relevant phenotypes. The fellow will have the opportunity to collaborate with experts across computational biology, genomics, molecular biology, data science, and therapeutic discovery while pursuing innovative research questions in a highly collaborative environment.

Job Responsibility

Analyze and integrate large-scale biological datasets to identify novel biological mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities
Develop and apply computational, statistical, and systems biology approaches to investigate complex biological questions
Utilize genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, single-cell, and other emerging data modalities to generate biological insights
Integrate multiple sources of molecular and phenotypic information to understand relationships between biological pathways and disease-relevant processes
Design and implement innovative analytical strategies to uncover mechanisms underlying cellular function and disease biology
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams spanning computational biology, molecular biology, genetics, and therapeutic discovery
Present scientific findings at internal and external scientific meetings and publish results in peer-reviewed journals
