Structural Biologist 3

The Structural Biologist III collaborates across biology, bioinformatics, software engineering, and clinical teams to design tools and methodologies leveraging biomolecular structural data to guide clinical decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide structural biology support for variant analyses through structure-function relationship interpretation.

• Develop novel methods, protocols, and tools for structural modeling, molecular dynamics, and clinical variant assessment on internal platforms.

• Partner with statisticians and data scientists to validate algorithms and data collection workflows.

• Coordinate cross-functional efforts across Bioinformatics, R&D, and reporting teams for clinical research projects.

• Write testable, production-grade code adhering to SDLC standards and code review best practices.

• Maintain technical documentation, SOPs, and knowledge bases while mentoring junior staff.

• Direct and lead the structural team through both soft and explicit leadership ensuring timely project completion

• Support, inform, and educate leadership and stakeholders about project progress and blockers.

Qualifications & Competencies

• Education: PhD in computational biology, structural biology, biophysics, bioinformatics, or equivalent.

• Experience: Minimum 5 years of R&D experience in computational structural biology or related fields, including at least 2 years of post-doctoral or industrial experience and 2 years management experience.

• Technical Skills: Fluency/proficiency in scripting/languages (Python, R, Perl, C/C++, Java, SQL) and bioinformatics/modeling software. Strong background in systems biology, molecular dynamics, and experimental techniques (X-ray, Cryo-EM).
