We are seeking a hybrid scientist who is equally comfortable generating high-quality in vitro toxicology data at the bench and building the computational tools needed to interpret it. This individual will design and execute in vitro assays to generate mechanistic and predictive safety data, while also developing analytical pipelines, predictive models, and decision-support tools that extract maximum scientific value from that data — and from broader toxicology, pathology, and translational datasets. The successful candidate will understand firsthand how in vitro biological data are generated — including assay design, cell culture systems, experimental variability, and mechanistic interpretation — and will apply that hands-on knowledge to build computational approaches that are scientifically grounded and fit for purpose. This individual will serve as a scientific
