Senior Scientist and Team Leader: High Throughput Human in vitro Genomics
Are you a brilliant multidisciplinary scientist with strengths in
molecular biology, computational biology, informatics and analysis? Do
you thrive on driving cutting-edge, extremely challenging and
multidisciplinary work?
Would you like to lead and grow a team of biologists,
informaticians & mathematicians tackling one of the biggest
problems the modern pharmaceutical industry faces?
The team is looking for that rare personality who understands the
challenges of experimental biology, is computationally and analytically
savvy, and a mature, experienced leader. The role of this scientist and
team leader will be to:
- Co-ordinate and fully participate in the day to day R&D. This individual will be expected to fully understand, drive and be able to problem solve R&D in vitro experimental biology, bioinformatics and genomic statistical analysis (e.g. gene expression microarrays), and software implementation. The responsibility of delivering R&D milestones on time rests with this role.
- Constantly increase company innovation. Central to this role will be to stay on top of latest developments in the field, and routinely make recommendations on what the R&D vision should be to maintain SimuGen's position as a leader in in vitro pharmacogenomics.
The position demands more than being driven by scientific novelty, but a scientific leader who can clearly present their thoughts as cost-benefit assessments of what are pragmatic options for the company.
The position begins February 2010, based in the London office, with
the option of moving over to the Kuala Lumpur office within 18 months.
Candidates wishing to make an application for this position are please to

(quin.wills[at]simugen-global.com):
- A single A4 page cover letter explaining why they are uniquely suited to this position
- A CV (maximum three pages) clearly demonstrating their particular experience for such a role
Short-listed candidates will be provided with further details regarding the position and likely projects they will oversee. Short-listed candidates will be invited to submit a brief proposal on their vision for the scientific priorities and opportunities for SimuGen within in vitro toxicogenomics. Top candidates will be invited to a first round interview. The position will be awarded for 6 months in the first instance, and extended subject to satisfactory performance.
