hela Sverige Respiratory is one of AstraZeneca's main therapy areas. Our aim is to transform asthma and COPD treatment through inhaled combinations at the core of care, biologics for the unmet needs of specific patient populations, and scientific advancements in disease modification.
From a research perspective we work to understand, treat, modify and ultimately cure respiratory disease with an emphasis on four diseases with significant unmet medical need; asthma, COPD, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Chronic Cough.
To further strengthen our expertise and capacity in each of these strategic research areas we are currently recruiting world-class leaders. Are you passionate about exploring what science can do to meet patient needs? Will you accept the challenge of creating the optimal conditions to maximise the scientific outcomes? Do you want to join our team?
Main Duties and Responsibilities
The RIA Target & Translational Sciences department is an agile environment, with a culture that is science and patient-focused. Our mission is to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level, identify the most effective target and the right patient population and close the gap between bench science and bedside clinical practice.
A key aspect of translational science is the application of state of the art data science technologies to drive disease understanding, patient and disease segmentation and bridge to clinical outcome.
As Head of the Data Science department, you are accountable for demonstrating all available in silico data sources, technologies and expertise to drive a new understanding of patient, disease and pharmacological intervention that ultimately leads to new medicines for unmet clinical need. This leadership role requires a strong data science background as well as excellent coaching, mentoring and communication skills. We believe you have phenomenal team working skills and a consistent record of working collaboratively to ensure scientific excellence and robust delivery.
Accountabilities and responsibilities:
* Develop an AZ centre of excellence for respiratory data science, bioinformatics, statistical expertise and systems biology
* Coach, mentor, motivate and inspire your team towards supporting projects with Data Science expertise
* Build and maintain a work environment in which scientific challenge and innovation is central
* Accountable for the delivery of bioinformatics and data science
* Enable the exploitation of big data sources both internally and externally
* Enable the continuous adoption of groundbreaking technologies, including next generation omics platforms, AI and machine learning
* Establish and maintain close contact with the Genomics Initiative to ensure results are received, new studies requested and that new putative targets for human validation are prosecuted within TTS
* Align Data science to the generation of data from models and patients that leads to discovery of new biomarkers
* Improve access to patient materials for omics analysis
* Drive alignment of your department with the need for novel signatures for patient segmentation, demonstration of target engagement and translation to clinical results
* Identify, promote and drive new target and project ideas that enrich our portfolio
* Provide strategies and a long-term vision for respiratory bioinformatics and data science
* Collaborate with partners across AstraZeneca to ensure data availability and infrastructure support for your long-term vision
* Makes AZ scientifically visible by publishing scientific papers and presenting data at conferences
Essential Requirements
We expect you to be a positive person with a can-do attitude - respecting individuals with different skillsets and knowledge. Your combined scientific and leadership experience gives you the ability to take wise decisions that constantly improves both the impact of your teams' results. You are a highly respected scientist and leader with a broad network.
* Strong quantitative background with a PhD in bioinformatics, statistics, data science or other quantitative sciences
* A proven track record of leading impactful data science or bioinformatics projects and teams
* Experience and a deep understanding of the identification and progression of drug targets through drug discovery and clinical development
* Proven competence driving knowledge from types of data acquired all stages of the life-cycle of a drug from pre-project exploratory in-vitro transcriptomics to post-clinical Real-World-Evidence data
* An understanding of respiratory disease
* Strong leadership capabilities with emphasis of people management and development
* Proven willingness to work productively in a matrix team environment
* Excellent written, oral, presentation and interpersonal skills
