JOB SUMMARY
Leads the design and implementation of High-Performance Scientific Computing infrastructure. Performs and supports scientific research using technical knowledge of software, software development, complex databases, high-performance computing, and/or hardware in a complex computing environment. Performs scientific research using knowledge of formalisms and algorithms from mathematics, statistics, and/or computer science.

The Center for Cellular Therapies and Cancer Immunology in the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center is looking to hire a Computational Research Scientist at the interface of machine learning, cancer genomics, and immunology. You will build and apply computational methods that turn large-scale multi-omic and functional datasets into validated therapeutic hypotheses, while working side by side with experimental and translational scientists to bring those hypotheses to the clinic.

This is a senior, high-autonomy position suited to someone who wants their models to drive biological discovery to therapies. You will help set scientific direction, mentor junior computational and experimental scientists, and serve as the analytical backbone of a program developing novel immunotherapies within a new center.

What you will do
• Build predictive models that integrate genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, single-cell, and functional-screen data to nominate novel therapeutic targets in cancer and the tumor immune microenvironment.
• Drive immunotherapy engineering by applying machine learning to antigen and neoantigen discovery, de novo protein design, and the optimization of engineered immune cells.
• Develop methods for interpreting high-dimensional and perturbation data, including deep learning approaches to sequence, structure, and single-cell readouts.
• Partner closely with wet-lab scientists to design experiments, prioritize candidates for validation, and iterate rapidly between computation and the bench.
• Lead and mentor trainees and staff, set analytical standards, and help shape the scientific roadmap of the program.
• Communicate results through high-impact publications, presentations, and collaborations across UT Southwestern’s research and clinical community.

Areas of focus
Depending on your interests and strengths, your work can center on identifying novel cancer immunotherapy targets and/or developing novel therapeutics. Approaches may include:
• Machine learning applied to multi-omic, single-cell, and functional data
• Clinical - molecular correlations that link genotype and tumor biology to therapeutic response
• De novo protein design
• Computational proteomics

Preferred Qualifications
Education
o Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biomedical Engineering, or related field
o Master’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Experience
o 2 years experience in driving computational biology/machine learning projects.
