SummaryYou are encouraged to apply for our Data Science Innovation Fellowship, which is a three-year post-doctoral research program to augment the way we approach drug discovery. The fellow will have the unique opportunity to train in data science and AI for biomedical research. As a fellow, you will apply your computational skills to make a difference for patients and reimagine medicine at Novartis. Drug hunting is a team sport, and you will participate on a multi-disciplinary team in Biomedical Research. You will drive innovation by deploying innovative data approaches in collaboration with a vibrant community of over 300 data scientists globally. The program provides a unique platform to access real-world, biomedical data at scale, rarely available in academia. Working with experienced mentors, you'll embark on a journey of professional growth, benefiting from a tailored training program with options for a mini-sabbatical in other areas of Novartis and for attending conferences/workshops. Biomedical Research is the home of a vibrant postdoctoral community connected through science and events supporting the professional growth of our fellows, including monthly seminars and an annual Research Day Symposium. Seize this chance to be at the forefront of Data science and AI and shape the future of drug discovery Your project will evolve practices in disease target identification and drug discovery through strengthening our ability to translate mechanistic insights gained from preclinical models to human kidney diseases. Developing a more sophisticated understanding of drug-kidney interactions is a crucial step towards creating successful drugs. To this end, you will use your quantitative background and leverage large-scale data to derive mechanistic insights from preclinical models relevant to human kidney biology and pathophysiology. Start date: Winter 2024
