Clinical Bioinformatician

Make an Impact Through Data-Driven Drug Development We are partnering with a leading global biopharmaceutical organization seeking a Clinical Bioinformatician to support the analysis of complex molecular and clinical datasets that drive research and development across innovative therapeutic programs. This is an exciting opportunity for a bioinformatics professional who is passionate about applying cutting-edge computational approaches to understand disease biology, discover biomarkers, and generate insights that influence clinical development strategies. Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and interpret large-scale omics datasets, including bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data.
• Develop, maintain, and optimise bioinformatics pipelines and analytical workflows.
• Perform differential expression, pathway enrichment, network analysis, and other advanced statistical analyses.
• Integrate data from multiple sources to support translational research and biomarker discovery initiatives.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including translational scientists, clinicians, statisticians, and research leaders.
• Generate clear visualisations, reports, and presentations communicating complex scientific findings to diverse audiences.
• Ensure analyses are reproducible, well-documented, and aligned with industry best practices.
• Contribute to scientific publications, study reports, and internal research initiatives. What We're Looking For Essential
• Advanced degree (MSc, PhD, or equivalent experience) in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Data Science, Genetics, Genomics, or a related discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience analysing RNA-seq datasets, ideally including both bulk and single-cell sequencing data.
• Proficiency in R and experience working within Linux-based computational environments.
• Solid understanding of statistics, molecular biology, genomics, and transcriptomics.
• Experience developing reproducible analytical workflows and pipelines.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex data into actionable biological insights. Desirable
• Experience within a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, or translational research environment.
• Exposure to biomarker discovery, precision medicine, or clinical development programmes.
• Experience with cloud computing, HPC environments, Docker, or workflow management tools.
• Knowledge of multi-omics integration, spatial transcriptomics, or advanced machine learning approaches.
• Scientific publication record and experience presenting findings to cross-functional stakeholders. What Makes Someone Successful in This Role? You'll thrive if you can combine deep technical expertise with scientific curiosity and commercial awareness. We're particularly interested in individuals who don't just analyse data, but can explain what the results mean for patients, clinical studies, and drug development decisions.
