Description
Summary:
Deep Origin seeks a Scientist to apply Systems Biology modeling in Quantitative Systems Pharmacology/Toxicology to accelerate drug discovery.
Highlights:
1. Accelerate drug discovery through AI-powered tools
2. Construct organ and tissue models connecting molecular interactions
3. Collaborate with international teams on cutting-edge research
**Deep Origin** is a biotechnology company accelerating drug discovery through AI\-powered tools. Our platforms simplify R\&D, simulate biology, and empower scientists to solve diseases and extend healthspan.
We are looking to recruit a Scientist with experience applying Systems Biology modeling and concepts in a Quantitative Systems Pharmacology/Toxicology context. You will construct organ and tissue models that connect molecular\-level interactions to physiological and toxicological endpoints and outcomes.
For US applicants: all applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
**Requirements**
* PhD in Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Systems Biology, QSP/PKPD, Systems Pharmacology, etc.
* 2 or more years of postdoctoral or industry experience constructing systems biology and related models in a QSP/QST context. Particularly in one or more of Liver, Intestine, Kidney, Blood, and Bone marrow.
* Extensive experience in Python (at least 3 years).
* Experience with SBML (2 years).
* Fluent English for collaboration with an international team.
* Be able to work on US time zones when needed.
**Nice to have:**
* Deep knowledge of available datasets to inform QSP/QST models.
* Experience deploying models in an HPC environment.
* Experience in model parameter optimization.
* Experience in virtual population generation.
* Composite model construction, parameterization, and simulation.
**Responsibilities:**
* Construct Systems Biology\-oriented QSP/QST models that capture molecular interactions and link these to physiological and toxicological outcomes and phenotypes.
* Work with the Deep Origins Cellular Simulations team and the wider company to interface these models with larger\-scale intracellular models and multi\-scale models of biological processes relevant to physiology and toxicology.
* Plan and organize work to ensure specific deadlines and milestones are met, coordinating with others to ensure work is correctly aligned and integrated with other efforts.
* Communicate effectively within the company and external teams, updating others frequently on progress and bottlenecks.
