Computational Toxicologist 100%
AUFGABENBESCHREIBUNG

• Design, develop, and apply machine learning models to predict safety-relevant endpoints (e.g., liver or kidney toxicity) using chemical structure and biological data
• Integrate chemoinformatics and in vitro safety data, with the potential to expand toward transcriptomics or other omics technologies
• Provide in silico support for discovery and early development programs, offering scientific insights into potential safety risks
• Leverage internal data and external knowledge bases to enhance model performance and interpretability
• Collaborate closely with toxicologists, pharmacologists, data scientists, and chemists to co-create solutions and ensure models are meaningful and relevant
• Contribute to broader efforts such as biological read-across, reverse translation of historical data, and refinement of digital workflows for safety decision-making

ERFORDERLICHES PROFIL

• PhD or MSc (with relevant experience) in Computational Toxicology, Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics, Data Science, Pharmacology, or a related field
• Solid experience in developing machine learning models, ideally applied to chemical and biological data
• Strong foundation in cheminformatics/chemistry, including working with molecular descriptors, chemical similarity, and structure-based analyses
• Experience with toxicological datasets and safety endpoints such as DILI or nephrotoxicity
• Familiarity with in vitro safety data and an interest in integrating complex biological datasets
• Proficient in programming (e.g., Python, R) and using scientific computing libraries (e.g., RDKit, scikit-learn, Pandas, TensorFlow, or similar)
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to translate technical insights for interdisciplinary teams

Nice to Have:

• Experience with toxicological datasets and safety endpoints such as DILI or nephrotoxicity
• Understanding of omics data integration or biological pathways related to toxicology
