Computational Biologist

At Biohaven, we are committed to improving the lives of patients suffering from neuromuscular disorders by advancing first-in-class and best-in-class therapies. Joining our team now means the opportunity to be a part of disruptive science and innovation for discovering treatments to some of the most challenging diseases and conditions that patients and their families face today.

We are seeking a genomics scientist to join the Computational Biology group at our Cambridge facility. In this role, you will play an essential role in advancing multi-omics approaches to explore genetic mechanisms underlying disease. You will be encouraged to actively participate in defining the scientific direction of the group by proposing novel research directions. You will lead studies end-to-end: from hypothesis formulation and study design to pipeline development, method assessment, implementation, and sharing of results, with the goal of contributing to our innovative treatment strategies.
