Grading:Year 1 Stipend (£2,829 per month after tax)
Reference Number:
EBI01734

Based in the ChEMBL Team at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) but working closely with both Open Targets and IDG partners, the appointee will develop computational and informatics methods that exploit the data integrated in the Open Targets Informatics Platform and IDG’s Pharos platform together with other public resources as applicable. These two resources incorporate an ever-expanding wealth of data and information pertaining to the link between target and disease phenotype, target tractability, potential safety risks and other relevant factors. The overall goal of this project is to develop methods and insights that exploit these platforms to help drive decisions on target identification and prioritisation in the wider drug discovery and bioscience community.

The topics and research questions we wish to explore in this project include integration of machine learning models to enhance target selection decisions, exploring the changing influence of different evidence over time and developing target novelty metrics. We also welcome research ideas/proposals from candidates aligned to the overall project goals and intent as part of the application process. Anyone wishing to find out more about the role is welcome to contact Dr Andrew Leach directly via email. Please include the job requisition number in the email subject.
